Saturday · Minute-level BTC order flow from Binance · 703,803 trades
Bitcoin ticked up +1.08% on Saturday, May 25, 2024, closing at $69,291 as sellers controlled aggregate flow with 426 BTC of net pressure.
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 said sell, price said buy. The -0.33 correlation between cumulative flow and return tells the story: someone was absorbing the selling quietly while price rose +1.08%.
Whale-sized trades (25 bars above 3σ, peak 7.9σ) pushed 121 BTC of net buying between 02:13–23:59 UTC — while price went the other way. Possible accumulation, possible pain.
Flow reversed midday. The first 12 hours belonged to buyers (+75 BTC), but sellers erased that and then some (-501 BTC) in the back half.

US traders set the tone. 74% of directional flow — 417 BTC of selling — came from that single session.
Session returns were muted across the board: Asia +0.30%, Europe +0.40%, US +0.38%.
