27 bars of outsized trades (peak 9.1σ) appeared between 00:10–23:07 UTC, with whale flow netting 1 BTC of buying.
Flow reversed midday. The first 12 hours belonged to buyers (+142 BTC), but sellers erased that and then some (-2,618 BTC) in the back half.
A clean, flow-driven day. The 0.85 correlation between cumulative flow and price means selling pressure was the dominant force — no hidden passive flow muddying the signal.
