BTC/USDT shows 1D net outflow –291.59 BTC (distribution), with large orders nearly neutral (+3.9 BTC) — whales are not dumping, they’re absorbing liquidity. Medium (–273 BTC) and small (–22 BTC) traders are selling, a classic shakeout. Over 5 days, large inflow –2,983 BTC, but selling pressure is slowing, signaling weakening downside momentum.

24h bias: Sideways → volatile fakeouts → possible break (no strong bull or bear yet).

LONG (safer): Above 87,200–87,400, enter 87,300–87,500, targets 88,200 / 89,000, stop <86,800 (whale support, retail exhaustion, squeeze risk).

SHORT (only breakdown): Below 86,800, enter 86,700–86,500, targets 85,800 / 84,900, stop >87,200 (distribution continuation).

Avoid: high leverage, market orders on spikes, chasing candles.

Outlook: Smart money neutral → accumulating, retail selling. Probabilities: 60% range/fakeouts, 25% upside, 15% downside.
