BTC price and volume for July 15, 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

Sustained large-player selling throughout the day. 36 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 8.7σ), spread across 00:57–20:15 UTC. The 430 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's selling bias.

Flow reversed midday. The first 12 hours belonged to sellers (-898 BTC), but buyers erased that and then some (+215 BTC) in the back half.

A clean, flow-driven day. The 0.91 correlation between cumulative flow and price means selling pressure was the dominant force — no hidden passive flow muddying the signal.
