May 14, 2023: Bitcoin edged higher (+0.53%). The 251 BTC of net selling flow at $26,918 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).
Sustained large-player selling throughout the day. 15 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 12.2σ), spread across 00:11–23:52 UTC. The 76 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's selling bias.
This was day 5 of consecutive net selling. Multi-day streaks reflect sustained conviction, not noise.
