Summary
August 06, 2022: Bitcoin slipped 1.54%. The 1,034 BTC of net selling flow at $22,954 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).
Flow Analysis
Sustained large-player selling throughout the day. 29 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 6.2σ), spread across 00:48–23:35 UTC. The 415 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's selling bias.
Most of the action happened during US hours, which accounted for 65% of the day's net flow (674 BTC selling). The rest of the day was a footnote.
A clean, flow-driven day. The 0.82 correlation between cumulative flow and price means selling pressure was the dominant force — no hidden passive flow muddying the signal.
