January 29, 2022: Bitcoin ticked up +1.19%. The 455 BTC of net buying flow at $38,167 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).
18 bars of outsized trades (peak 4.9σ) appeared between 01:53–23:33 UTC, with whale flow netting 48 BTC of selling.
Price followed flow faithfully (correlation: 0.84). When you see this level of alignment, it means one side is in control and the other isn't even fighting.
Cumulative buying pressure (purple, left axis) vs cumulative price return (yellow, right axis). When these diverge, flow and price are telling different stories.
A tale of two halves — sellers pushed 90 BTC through the morning, then buyers flipped the script with 545 BTC in the afternoon.
Breaking it down by session: Asia +0.32%, Europe +0.86%, US +0.01%. Europe stood out.
