Here is my guess how it can be done:

insert into Timeseries ( tiker, time, avg_price, avg_volume ) select ...

where select .... would be

select tick,
date_trunc('minute', time) as minute,
avg(price) as avg_price,
avg(volume) as avg_volume
from ticker
where time between 'yourstartdate' and 'yourenddate'
group by tick, minute;
