VOLUME PROFILE · VOLUME AT PRICE
Where did the most Bitcoin trade?
Some prices see a mountain of trading and others barely any. Traced over the years, the busiest prices glow bright: the ones the market keeps coming back to.
Bitcoin trading by price

Use the left and right arrow keys to move through the price bands. Press plus or minus to zoom in or out, and 0 or Home to reset the zoom. Press Escape to stop.
Every bar is a price range, and its height is the dollar value of all the Bitcoin traded there over the years. The tallest bar, the brightest zone, is the price the market has kept returning to most.
Outside this trimmed view: 143 lower-price bands (0.3536% of all the dollars traded) below $3,764.39, and 8 higher-price bands (0.0009% of all the dollars traded) above $126,180.18.
Outside this trimmed view: 77 lower-price bands (0.3608% of all the coins traded) below $84.21, and 9 higher-price bands (0.1689% of all the coins traded) above $119,120.43.

Monthly trading by price
Monthly columns from Aug 2011 to Sep 2026 show the included price bands, with brighter colours marking a larger share of that month's trading. The pale line shows Bitcoin's daily close. The selected month is Sep 2026. Use the month inspector and its price-band table for exact values.
Use the left and right arrow keys to move through the months. Hold Shift to move a year at a time. Press plus or minus to zoom in or out, and 0 or Home to reset the zoom. Press Escape to stop.
Each column is one recorded month and the vertical axis is price. The bright band marks where that month's trading concentrated, while the pale line shows Bitcoin's price. Open the month inspector below for exact recorded values; pointing at the chart offers the same quick read.
One column equals one recorded month, starting in 2011.

Right now
Two prices the market keeps returning to: around $65K and $97K.
More money has changed hands around $65K than at any other Bitcoin price, and a second heavy band sits near $97K. These are the prices buyers and sellers keep coming back to, so trading tends to slow down and change hands there rather than rush straight past. As of 28 Sep 2026, across every day of trading since 2011.
Where did trading concentrate?
The heaviest-traded zone runs from $63.2K to $67K, where 4.8% of all the dollars traded since 2011 changed hands. Also heavy: $94.6K to $100K (3.6%) and $22.4K to $23.8K (3.5%).
A share here counts dollars, not coins. Each day's trading is spread across that day's price range, so a band at today's prices holds far more dollars than the same number of coins traded years ago for a few hundred. The In coins tab on the chart counts the coins instead.
Where did the most coins change hands?
Counted in coins instead of dollars, the heaviest-traded zone runs from $18.9K to $20K, where 4.7% of all the coins traded since 2011 changed hands. Also heavy: $8.9K to $9.5K (3.4%) and $26.7K to $28.2K (2.1%).
Every coin counts the same here, whatever it cost, so the years when Bitcoin was cheap weigh far more than in dollars. The coins are the ones traded on the exchanges we add up. The other zones named are separate peaks more than four bands from the heaviest one, so a busy band right beside it is not listed.
What sits above and below today?
The nearest heavy zone below is $63.2K to $67K, around $65K, 22% under the 28 Sep 2026 close of $83,463. The nearest above is $94.6K to $100K, around $97K, 17% over it.
Heavy zones are where trading has tended to slow down and change hands.
Where is trading thin?
Between the heavy zones sit stretches where less changed hands than in the prices either side of them. The nearest one below is $70.9K to $75.2K, around $73K, 13% under the 28 Sep 2026 close of $83,463.
A stretch counts as thin when its band holds fewer dollars than the bands either side of it, so it is quiet next to its neighbours rather than the quietest price on the ladder. The market has tended to move through these faster, because less has changed hands there for owners to defend. They are only looked for between the outermost heavy zones, and on daily data they are the least certain part of this page, so treat them gently.
What would change this read?
Heavy zones build up slowly. A new one forms when the price spends a long stretch somewhere and a lot of Bitcoin changes hands, and an old one only fades if the market drifts far away and stays there.
Built from each day's trading, so this shows where volume most likely piled up by price range, not every single trade. The totals are added up across major exchanges, so read the shape, not the exact dollar figure.

Where it stands today
More money has changed hands around $65.1K than at any other Bitcoin price as of .
What is a volume profile?
Every day, some prices see a lot of Bitcoin change hands and others see almost none. Stack up all that trading by price and you get a volume profile, a map of where the market has done the most business. Analysts also call it volume at price.
What do the two charts show?
This page draws that map two ways. The bar chart is the all-time shape, counted two ways on its two tabs. In dollars, the tallest bar is the price band where the most money has changed hands. In coins, it is the band where the most Bitcoin has changed hands, whatever each coin cost. The monthly map adds time: each column is one month, the bright band in it marks the prices where that month's dollars concentrated, and the pale line is the price itself moving through the years.
Why do the heavy zones matter?
The heavy zones matter because a price where a lot of trading has already happened tends to pull the market back. Buyers and sellers have unfinished business there, so the price often slows down and changes hands rather than shooting straight through. The single busiest price is sometimes called the point of control. Traders call a price area like this support when it sits below the price and resistance when it sits above. It is the same idea as a floor and a ceiling.
What does a band's share measure?
In dollars, each bar's share is its part of the dollar value of all Bitcoin trading since 2011. In coins, it is its part of all the coins traded since 2011 on the exchanges we add up, and a coin that changed hands twice counts twice. Either way, each day's trading is spread evenly across the prices it traded between that day, low to high, so a day has the same shape in both. Only its weight differs. Counted in dollars, a coin that changed hands at $60,000 adds a hundred times what a coin at $600 did, so the years at higher prices weigh more. Counted in coins, the two add the same.
What counts as a heavy zone?
A heavy zone is a peak in the profile once each band is averaged with its two neighbours, holding at least about a sixth of the trading at the busiest band. Averaging finds the peak; the band the page then names is the busiest single band inside it, so the figure beside a zone is that band's own. Thin stretches are found the same way and named for their quietest band. The page names another heavy zone beside the busiest band only when it sits more than four bands away, so it is a separate peak rather than the edge of the first.
How is the monthly map coloured?
Each column is measured against its own month. A band's colour is its share of that month's dollars, counted in thousandths, so a quiet month in 2012 glows as brightly as a busy one today. A band with under half a thousandth is left out rather than shown as a zero, which is why a month's shares can add up to a little more or less than 1,000. The last column is the month so far.
How exact is it?
Because this is built from each day's trading rather than every individual trade, treat it as neighborhoods, not exact addresses: it shows where trading most likely piled up by price range. The totals are added up across major exchanges, so read the shape of the map, not the exact dollar figure. It updates every day as new trading comes in.
Why are there no date buttons?
The bar chart adds up all trading on record, so there are no dates to pick: drag across it to zoom into a price range. On the map each column is a month, and a drag zooms into a run of them. On a phone, hold a finger still for a moment, then drag. Reset brings back the whole view.
