BTC Flow Analysis — December 27, 2021 CHOP
Monday · Minute-level BTC order flow from Binance · 1,009,411 trades
Summary
December 27, 2021: Bitcoin went nowhere. The 80 BTC of net buying flow at $50,701 told a clear story — buyers were in charge.
BTC price (blue) and trading volume (cyan bars) per minute. Session shading: Asia (gold 00-08 UTC), Europe (green 08-14), US (red 14-00).
Flow Analysis
Sustained large-player buying throughout the day. 17 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 7.2σ), spread across 00:13–21:12 UTC. The 34 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's buying bias.
Cumulative buying pressure (purple, left axis) vs cumulative price return (yellow, right axis). When these diverge, flow and price are telling different stories.
Session Breakdown
A tale of two halves — sellers pushed 420 BTC through the morning, then buyers flipped the script with 500 BTC in the afternoon.
Breaking it down by session: Asia -0.16%, Europe +1.19%, US -1.17%. Europe stood out.
| Session | Hours (UTC) | Return | Net Flow | Flow Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asia | 00:00 - 08:00 | -0.16% | -333 BTC | 45% |
| Europe | 08:00 - 14:00 | 1.19% | 170 BTC | 23% |
| US | 14:00 - 00:00 | -1.17% | 242 BTC | 32% |
Per-minute volume split by aggressor side. Green = actively bought at the asking price. Red = actively sold at the bid price.
Regime Context
This was near the start of a chop regime (day 2), with the bear regime barely in the rearview mirror.
The buying streak extended to 3 days. Streaks this long suggest a structural flow, not just intraday traders flipping positions.
