The aggregate volume of cryptocurrency transactions initiated by “taker” orders that immediately execute against existing “maker” sell orders on an exchange’s order book. This metric indicates active market demand.
Mechanism
Taker buy orders consume liquidity by matching with the lowest available ask prices, directly impacting the market price upward. This type of volume reflects aggressive buying pressure, as traders are willing to pay the prevailing market price to acquire assets immediately.
Methodology
Analysts and traders monitor taker buy volume as a real-time indicator of buying pressure and market sentiment. A sustained increase in taker buy volume suggests strong demand and can signal a potential upward price movement, particularly when observed in conjunction with other on-chain or market depth metrics.
