Flow Analysis

Sustained large-player selling throughout the day. 21 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 9.0σ), spread across 01:42–23:23 UTC. The 139 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's selling bias.

Most of the action happened during US hours, which accounted for 68% of the day's net flow (1,584 BTC selling). The rest of the day was a footnote.

This was day 7 of consecutive net selling. Multi-day streaks reflect sustained conviction, not noise.

Price followed flow faithfully (correlation: 0.82). When you see this level of alignment, it means one side is in control and the other isn't even fighting.
