Flow Analysis

Sustained large-player buying throughout the day. 18 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 9.0σ), spread across 01:11–23:44 UTC. The 485 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's buying bias.

A clean, flow-driven day. The 0.92 correlation between cumulative flow and price means buying pressure was the dominant force — no hidden passive flow muddying the signal.
