Wednesday · Minute-level BTC order flow from Binance · 2,134,897 trades
June 16, 2021: Bitcoin fell 4.5%. The 3,497 BTC of net selling flow at $38,349 told a clear story — sellers 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).
26 bars of outsized trades (peak 8.1σ) appeared between 00:16–23:37 UTC, with whale flow netting 470 BTC of buying.
Most of the action happened during US hours, which accounted for 75% of the day's net flow (2,618 BTC selling). The rest of the day was a footnote.
This was day 3 of consecutive net selling. Multi-day streaks reflect sustained conviction, not noise.
A clean, flow-driven day. The 0.87 correlation between cumulative flow and price means selling pressure was the dominant force — no hidden passive flow muddying the signal.
Cumulative buying pressure (purple, left axis) vs cumulative price return (yellow, right axis). When these diverge, flow and price are telling different stories.
Breaking it down by session: Asia -0.04%, Europe -2.24%, US -2.24%. US stood out.
