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
The big players were active all day. 26 bars of outsized trades (10.1σ peak) from 01:34–21:39 UTC, adding 2,575 BTC of selling pressure on top of the broader selling flow.
A volatile day: 15.5% range from $17,622 to $20,792. Wide ranges like this create opportunities but also traps for directional traders.
A clean, flow-driven day. The 0.80 correlation between cumulative flow and price means selling pressure was the dominant force — no hidden passive flow muddying the signal.
