Saturday · Minute-level BTC order flow from Binance · 714,899 trades
On Saturday, January 01, 2022, Bitcoin rallied +3.3% to $47,723. Net flow: +280 BTC — buyers had the edge.
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. 21 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 8.4σ), spread across 00:28–21:57 UTC. The 10 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.
Strip out US and the day would look flat. That session alone contributed 76% of the net flow (364 BTC buying).
Morning and afternoon traded like two different markets. Sellers led early (-92 BTC), buyers dominated late (+372 BTC).
Across sessions: Asia +2.12%, Europe -0.36%, US +1.49% — with Asia doing the heavy lifting.

Per-minute volume split by aggressor side. Green = actively bought at the asking price. Red = actively sold at the bid price.
Nothing unusual for a bear-regime day. The +3.26% return was consistent with the period's average of -0.27%.
