Flow Analysis

The big players were active all day. 19 bars of outsized trades (14.2σ peak) from 00:13–23:56 UTC, adding 135 BTC of selling pressure on top of the broader selling flow.

Flow reversed midday. The first 12 hours belonged to buyers (+537 BTC), but sellers erased that and then some (-761 BTC) in the back half.

A clean, flow-driven day. The 0.86 correlation between cumulative flow and price means selling pressure was the dominant force — no hidden passive flow muddying the signal.
