DIX – Dark Pool Buyer Intent Index

The DIX (Dark Pool Buyer Intent Index) measures the percentage of dark pool volume classified as buy-side. A higher DIX suggests more aggressive institutional buying activity happening off exchange, often before visible price moves.

How to Use It:

• DIX > 50%: More than half of the dark pool trades are classified as buys — a potential sign of accumulation by institutions.
• DIX < 50%: Sell-side activity dominates — could suggest distribution or lack of institutional interest.
• Watch for spikes: A sudden increase in DIX during market weakness can signal a bullish divergence.
• Pair with price action: DIX rising while price falls may indicate stealth accumulation. DIX dropping during a rally may signal hidden distribution.
