Saturday · Minute-level BTC order flow from Binance · 567,728 trades
September 02, 2023: Bitcoin finished near unchanged (+0.25%). The 981 BTC of net selling flow at $25,870 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).
The big players were active all day. 22 bars of outsized trades (7.0σ peak) from 00:15–23:22 UTC, adding 65 BTC of selling pressure on top of the broader selling flow.
A disconnect between flow and price (correlation: -0.51). Neither buyers nor sellers could convert aggressor-side pressure into directional movement.
