September 02, 2021: Bitcoin edged higher (+0.89%). The 2,293 BTC of net buying flow at $49,247 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).
Sustained large-player buying throughout the day. 23 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 6.8σ), spread across 00:59–23:30 UTC. The 456 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's buying bias.
Cumulative buying pressure (purple, left axis) vs cumulative price return (yellow, right axis). When these diverge, flow and price are telling different stories.
