Flow Analysis
Sustained large-player buying throughout the day. 20 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 10.3σ), spread across 00:31–23:47 UTC. The 1,447 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's buying bias.
Flow reversed midday. The first 12 hours belonged to sellers (-82 BTC), but buyers erased that and then some (+563 BTC) in the back half.
Net buying for 5 straight days. Whether it's institutional positioning or sentiment-driven, the directional bias was persistent.
