Buy pressure

Also written or said as: sell pressure, buy sell ratio, buys vs sells, buy ratio

How much buying there is compared with selling.

If a coin shows 300 buys and 120 sells in five minutes, buy pressure looks strong for now. Counts can mislead: one whale selling 20 SOL outweighs fifty buys of 0.1 SOL, and volume bots can fake buy counts. Look at the size of the trades as well as the number.

This guide is for learning. It is not financial advice. Most memecoins go to zero and most people who trade them lose money. Only ever trade what you can afford to lose.
