Thursday · Minute-level BTC order flow from Binance · 4,361,333 trades
September 26, 2024: Bitcoin pushed +3.2% higher. The 1,711 BTC of net buying flow at $65,174 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. 24 bars of outsized trades (12.5σ peak) from 00:36–23:58 UTC, adding 96 BTC of buying pressure on top of the broader buying flow.
Most of the action happened during US hours, which accounted for 84% of the day's net flow (1,439 BTC buying). The rest of the day was a footnote.
Price followed flow faithfully (correlation: 0.91). When you see this level of alignment, it means one side is in control and the other isn't even fighting.
