Flow Analysis

Flow said sell, price said buy. The -0.33 correlation between cumulative flow and return tells the story: someone was absorbing the selling quietly while price rose +1.08%.

Whale-sized trades (25 bars above 3σ, peak 7.9σ) pushed 121 BTC of net buying between 02:13–23:59 UTC — while price went the other way. Possible accumulation, possible pain.

Flow reversed midday. The first 12 hours belonged to buyers (+75 BTC), but sellers erased that and then some (-501 BTC) in the back half.
