Flow Analysis
Despite persistent sell-side aggression (flow-price correlation -0.59), price rose +0.64%. This divergence typically signals strong passive demand — buyers who don't need to cross the spread.
Sustained large-player selling throughout the day. 19 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 6.7σ), spread across 00:15–22:49 UTC. The 342 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's selling bias.
Net selling for 4 straight days. Whether it's institutional positioning or sentiment-driven, the directional bias was persistent.

Across sessions: Asia -0.34%, Europe -0.02%, US +1.00% — with US doing the heavy lifting.
