Tuesday · Minute-level BTC order flow from Binance · 1,367,343 trades
March 22, 2022: Bitcoin pushed +3.3% higher. The 976 BTC of net buying flow at $42,364 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. 21 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 6.8σ), spread across 00:53–22:19 UTC. The 13 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's buying bias.
Price followed flow faithfully (correlation: 0.94). When you see this level of alignment, it means one side is in control and the other isn't even fighting.
Cumulative buying pressure (purple, left axis) vs cumulative price return (yellow, right axis). When these diverge, flow and price are telling different stories.
Most of the action happened during Asia hours, which accounted for 71% of the day's net flow (950 BTC buying). The rest of the day was a footnote.
A tale of two halves — buyers pushed 1,200 BTC through the morning, then sellers flipped the script with 224 BTC in the afternoon.
Breaking it down by session: Asia +2.96%, Europe +1.45%, US -1.08%. Asia stood out.
