A volatile day: 12.8% range from $32,917 to $37,550. Wide ranges like this create opportunities but also traps for directional traders.
A clean, flow-driven day. The 0.97 correlation between cumulative flow and price means buying pressure was the dominant force — no hidden passive flow muddying the signal.
