BTC price and volume for February 05, 2023

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

The big players were active all day. 19 bars of outsized trades (7.0σ peak) from 00:56–16:00 UTC, adding 8 BTC of selling pressure on top of the broader selling flow.

Flow reversed midday. The first 12 hours belonged to buyers (+292 BTC), but sellers erased that and then some (-1,773 BTC) in the back half.

This was day 4 of consecutive net selling. Multi-day streaks reflect sustained conviction, not noise.

A clean, flow-driven day. The 0.98 correlation between cumulative flow and price means selling pressure was the dominant force — no hidden passive flow muddying the signal.
