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
Large players were on the wrong side — or the patient side. 44 bars of outsized trade sizes (peak 9.8σ) showed net buying, but price moved against them. Either they were accumulating into weakness or got caught.
Flow and price told different stories (correlation: -0.33). Aggressor-side flow leaned one way but price barely moved — the opposing side matched it passively.
Flow reversed midday. The first 12 hours belonged to buyers (+221 BTC), but sellers erased that and then some (-275 BTC) in the back half.
Net selling for 5 straight days. Whether it's institutional positioning or sentiment-driven, the directional bias was persistent.
Cumulative buying pressure (purple, left axis) vs cumulative price return (yellow, right axis). When these diverge, flow and price are telling different stories.
Session Breakdown
Session returns: Asia -0.66%, Europe +0.43%, US +0.44%. Asia led the move.
