Since 2020, The Graph has shown extreme sell pressure 60 times. In the 60 cases old enough to score, the price was higher 7 days later 43% of the time, with a median move of −1.3%. On an ordinary day the median 7-day move for GRT is −1.8%.

Weak evidence46

There is a gap, but once you allow for how many studies were run, a gap this large is luck about 96% of the time, so it should not be relied on.

“Ordinary median” is the median move of GRT over the same number of days starting from any day. “Gap” is the signal's median minus the ordinary one. “By luck” is how often a gap at least that large comes from randomly chosen days, corrected for the 3,572 studies run at each holding period (for this study taken alone: 81%).

Dips and best points use each day's low and high, measured from the close on the signal day. Costs assume 0.3% for a round trip: a 0.1% exchange fee each way and 0.05% slippage each way.

Did it hold up over time?

Splitting the cases by date: in the earlier 36 the gap over 7 days was +0.1%, and in the later 24 it was +0.5%. Same direction both times.

The rule

Share of volume from market buys in the bottom 3% of the previous 180 days. Market sell orders taking an unusually large share of volume means sellers are hitting bids to get out rather than waiting.

Occurrences closer than 7 days to the previous one are not counted again. The signal is confirmed at the daily close (00:00 UTC) and returns are measured from that close. Full method.
