## Data Quality

### Volume anomaly in early March 2023

Daily volume before March 22, 2023 is approximately **6x higher** than subsequent months. This is due to Binance's [zero-fee BTC spot trading promotion](https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/updates-on-zero-fee-bitcoin-trading-busd-zero-maker-fee-promotion-be13a645cca643d28eab5b9b34f2dc36) which ended on March 22, 2023. The promotion encouraged wash trading that inflated reported volume. Volume normalizes after March 22. This affects volume-based features but not price data.

### Backfilled bars

90 bars on 2023-03-24 from 12:30 to 13:59 UTC were sourced from Bybit BTCUSDT spot instead of Binance. During this period, Binance was offline for scheduled maintenance (the original data contained flat zero-volume candles followed by an 80-minute gap). Bybit prices closely track Binance but may differ by a few dollars.

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
import pandas as pd

ds = load_dataset("Torch-Trade/btcusdt_spot_1m_03_2023_to_03_2026")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
df["timestamp"] = pd.to_datetime(df["timestamp"])

print(df.shape) # (1578240, 6)
print(df.head())
```
