Flow Analysis

The big players were active all day. 57 bars of outsized trades (15.0σ peak) from 00:10–23:56 UTC, adding 1,458 BTC of buying pressure on top of the broader buying flow.

Flow reversed midday. The first 12 hours belonged to sellers (-356 BTC), but buyers erased that and then some (+828 BTC) in the back half.

A clean, flow-driven day. The 0.85 correlation between cumulative flow and price means buying pressure was the dominant force — no hidden passive flow muddying the signal.
