Flow Analysis

Sustained large-player buying throughout the day. 37 bars with trade sizes 3σ+ above normal (peak: 10.2σ), spread across 00:31–23:21 UTC. The 251 BTC of whale flow reinforced the day's buying bias.

Most of the action happened during US hours, which accounted for 66% of the day's net flow (3,150 BTC buying). The rest of the day was a footnote.

This was day 3 of consecutive net buying. Multi-day streaks reflect sustained conviction, not noise.
