BTC price and volume for March 17, 2025

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

Despite persistent sell-side aggression (flow-price correlation -0.40), price rose +1.74%. This divergence typically signals strong passive demand — buyers who don't need to cross the spread.

Whale-sized trades (32 bars above 3σ, peak 9.4σ) pushed 1 BTC of net buying between 00:29–23:27 UTC — while price went the other way. Possible accumulation, possible pain.

This was day 3 of consecutive net selling. Multi-day streaks reflect sustained conviction, not noise.

Across sessions: Asia +1.20%, Europe -0.65%, US +1.19% — with Asia doing the heavy lifting.
