How MoonMath calculates pressure analyzer

The formula

Buy pressure is 45% the buy share of transaction count, 25% a volume-direction score and 30% a price-momentum score. Sell pressure is its complement, and the net figure is banded into phases.

What it reads

• Buy and sell transaction counts over 24 hours
• The 24-hour volume and its change
• The 24-hour price change
• Optionally pool liquidity and market cap, for the depth ratio

What it assumes

• The buy share of transaction count is used as a proxy for buy pressure, because providers give no side-specific dollar volume
• Rising volume is read as bullish when the price rose and bearish when it fell
• Where side-specific volume is not observed, the displayed split is a model and is deliberately excluded from the score
• One input is held neutral because deriving it from price would double-count the price signal

Run it

Compare buying and selling activity without presenting transaction count or total volume as side-specific dollar flow. MoonMath uses observed buy and sell volume when a provider supplies it and labels fallback estimates as heuristic.

How the market itself works

This page describes MoonMath's arithmetic. The mechanics section describes the market: how an order book forms a price, why order-book depth is not the same thing as pool liquidity, and what a public book does and does not let you observe.
