Wednesday · Minute-level BTC order flow from Binance · 1,545,427 trades
November 15, 2023: Bitcoin ripped +6.5% to the upside. The 2,715 BTC of net buying flow at $37,858 told a clear story — buyers 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. 18 bars of outsized trades (9.9σ peak) from 00:19–22:02 UTC, adding 293 BTC of buying pressure on top of the broader buying flow.
Most of the action happened during US hours, which accounted for 68% of the day's net flow (2,132 BTC buying). The rest of the day was a footnote.
Price followed flow faithfully (correlation: 0.99). When you see this level of alignment, it means one side is in control and the other isn't even fighting.
