Flow Analysis
Large-player activity detected: 34 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 7.5σ) between 00:22–22:05 UTC. Whale flow netted 133 BTC of buying.
Flow reversed midday. The first 12 hours belonged to sellers (-231 BTC), but buyers erased that and then some (+5 BTC) in the back half.
This was day 4 of consecutive net selling. Multi-day streaks reflect sustained conviction, not noise.
A clean, flow-driven day. The 0.83 correlation between cumulative flow and price means selling pressure was the dominant force — no hidden passive flow muddying the signal.
