Sunday · Minute-level BTC order flow from Binance · 3,342,200 trades
December 01, 2024: Bitcoin ticked up +0.81%. The 709 BTC of net selling flow at $97,185 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).
A textbook absorption day. Sellers hit the bid aggressively (correlation between cumulative flow and price: -0.63), but price still climbed +0.81%. The buying was passive — limit orders soaking up the supply.
Sustained large-player selling throughout the day. 43 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 14.3σ), spread across 00:34–22:27 UTC. The 14 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's selling bias.
Cumulative buying pressure (purple, left axis) vs cumulative price return (yellow, right axis). When these diverge, flow and price are telling different stories.
Most of the action happened during Asia hours, which accounted for 64% of the day's net flow (452 BTC selling). The rest of the day was a footnote.
Breaking it down by session: Asia +0.07%, Europe +0.62%, US +0.12%. Europe stood out.
| Session | Hours (UTC) | Return | Net Flow | Flow Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asia | 00:00 - 08:00 | 0.07% | -452 BTC | 64% |
| Europe | 08:00 - 14:00 | 0.62% | -90 BTC | 13% |
| US | 14:00 - 00:00 | 0.12% | -167 BTC | 24% |
Per-minute volume split by aggressor side. Green = actively bought at the asking price. Red = actively sold at the bid price.
The selling streak extended to 3 days. Streaks this long suggest a structural flow, not just intraday traders flipping positions.
