The adjusted CDD takes the number of coin days destroyed and normalizes it against the total supply of Bitcoin. This helps to reveal trends in the market where long-term holders, considered to be more informed or experienced investors, move their coins. Large spikes in adjusted CDD may indicate significant selling activity from these holders, which can often coincide with major market events or price shifts.

The VDD Multiple compares short-term spending activity with a long-term historical average by dividing a 30-day average of VDD by a 365-day average. This indicator is useful for spotting when older, long-held coins are moving into circulation, typically indicating that long-term holders may be selling as the market accelerates.
