Saturday · Minute-level BTC order flow from Binance · 4,207,940 trades
February 11, 2023: Bitcoin ground out a +1.10% gain. The 1,146 BTC of net selling flow at $21,863 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: -0.31), but price still climbed +1.10%. The buying was passive — limit orders soaking up the supply.
Sustained large-player selling throughout the day. 11 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 5.9σ), spread across 02:25–21:07 UTC. The 73 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's selling bias.
Day 4 of unbroken net selling. The market had a directional lean and wasn't letting go.
Cumulative buying pressure (purple, left axis) vs cumulative price return (yellow, right axis). When these diverge, flow and price are telling different stories.
Breaking it down by session: Asia +0.31%, Europe +0.25%, US +0.53%. US stood out.
