Flow Analysis

Sustained large-player selling throughout the day. 61 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 8.5σ), spread across 00:19–22:02 UTC. The 6,064 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's selling bias.

This was day 3 of consecutive net selling. Multi-day streaks reflect sustained conviction, not noise.

From $62,345 to $73,341 — a 15.0% range that forced both bulls and bears to respect the volatility.

A clean, flow-driven day. The 0.94 correlation between cumulative flow and price means selling pressure was the dominant force — no hidden passive flow muddying the signal.
