BTC price and volume for May 12, 2025

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 Analysis

The -0.41 flow-price correlation reveals a mismatch — buyers crossed the spread aggressively, but price still fell -1.27%. Passive supply overwhelmed active demand.

Sustained large-player buying throughout the day. 31 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 10.2σ), spread across 00:14–23:41 UTC. The 224 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's buying bias.

This was day 5 of consecutive net buying. Multi-day streaks reflect sustained conviction, not noise.
