Flow Analysis
A frustrating day for buyers. Cumulative flow leaned positive but price declined -1.48% (correlation: -0.34). Passive selling at higher prices kept rejecting the advances.
Sustained large-player buying throughout the day. 17 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 11.1σ), spread across 01:21–14:36 UTC. The 1,455 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's buying bias.
