Flow Analysis
Sustained large-player selling throughout the day. 14 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 5.6σ), spread across 00:14–23:53 UTC. The 28 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's selling bias.
Flow reversed midday. The first 12 hours belonged to sellers (-1,764 BTC), but buyers erased that and then some (+68 BTC) in the back half.
Day 3 of unbroken net selling. The market had a directional lean and wasn't letting go.
