BTC price and volume for November 19, 2022

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 selling throughout the day. 22 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 5.2σ), spread across 00:43–23:59 UTC. The 42 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's selling bias.

Flow reversed midday. The first 12 hours belonged to sellers (-184 BTC), but buyers erased that and then some (+15 BTC) in the back half.

This was day 8 of consecutive net selling. Multi-day streaks reflect sustained conviction, not noise.

A clean, flow-driven day. The 0.83 correlation between cumulative flow and price means selling pressure was the dominant force — no hidden passive flow muddying the signal.
