Flow Analysis
Sustained large-player selling throughout the day. 26 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 7.8σ), spread across 00:11–20:58 UTC. The 7 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's selling bias.
From $42,500 to $47,070 — a 10.0% range that forced both bulls and bears to respect the volatility.
A clean, flow-driven day. The 0.97 correlation between cumulative flow and price means selling pressure was the dominant force — no hidden passive flow muddying the signal.
