Flow Analysis

Sustained large-player buying throughout the day. 23 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 4.7σ), spread across 00:25–20:50 UTC. The 362 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's buying bias.

A clean, flow-driven day. The 0.90 correlation between cumulative flow and price means buying pressure was the dominant force — no hidden passive flow muddying the signal.
