A worked distinction
Suppose a bid bucket contains 80,000 USDT and the next snapshot contains 20,000 USDT. The 60,000 difference is a reduction in displayed size. Calling it 60,000 USDT of market sells would require execution records and matching coverage that the snapshots do not provide.
What to verify in your own analysis
Compare the exact market, sampling interval and price bucket. Read trade-side conventions separately; a venue may label the maker or taker side.
Write down the market or protocol identifier, units, observation window and data source before comparing outputs. Keep unavailable values distinct from zero. Capture a baseline and change one assumption at a time so the resulting difference can be explained.
