Monday · Minute-level BTC order flow from Binance · 1,349,625 trades
November 29, 2021: Bitcoin edged higher (+0.88%). The 1,085 BTC of net selling flow at $57,776 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).
A textbook absorption day. Sellers hit the bid aggressively (correlation between cumulative flow and price: -0.73), but price still climbed +0.88%. The buying was passive — limit orders soaking up the supply.
The big players were active all day. 24 bars of outsized trades (9.0σ peak) from 01:43–19:33 UTC, adding 454 BTC of selling pressure on top of the broader selling flow.
Most of the action happened during US hours, which accounted for 67% of the day's net flow (1,007 BTC selling). The rest of the day was a footnote.
