What happens to VeChain after large-trade buying?

Since 2018, VeChain has shown large-trade buying 40 times. In the 40 cases old enough to score, the price was higher 7 days later 48% of the time, with a median move of −1.0%. On an ordinary day the median 7-day move for VET is −0.8%.

No better than chance20

Once you allow for how many studies were run, a gap this large is luck about 98% of the time, so this signal has told you nothing reliable about the following week.

“Ordinary median” is the median move of VET 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: 91%).

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 24 the gap over 7 days was −0.2%, and in the later 16 it was +0.5%. The direction changed, which is what a pattern produced by chance tends to do.

The rule

Average trade size in the top 5% of the previous 180 days, with the share of volume from market buys above 50%. When the average trade gets unusually large, bigger players are active. Here they are active while market buys outweigh market sells.

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.
