Bitcoin Order Flow Turns Bearish as Large Sellers Dominate Market

A fresh wave of sell-side pressure is emerging in the Bitcoin market, with newly released order-flow data showing a clear imbalance between buy and sell volumes across major trader categories. The latest metrics reveal that total sell orders have overtaken buy orders by more than 743 BTC, signalling a weakening bullish structure and increased caution among big market participants.

Whales Drive Majority of the Sell Pressure

Large-volume traders—commonly known as whales—registered the most significant impact on the market.

Buy Orders: 7,565.30 BTC

Sell Orders: 8,284.36 BTC

Net Inflow: –719.05 BTC

The notable outflow indicates that whales are taking profits or repositioning, a move that historically precedes short-term volatility or corrective phases in BTC’s price trend.

Medium-Size Traders Also Lean Bearish

Activity among medium-volume traders shows a smaller yet still notable tilt toward selling:

Buys: 1,835.29 BTC

Sells: 1,895.94 BTC

Inflow: –60.64 BTC

This group appears to be adopting a risk-off approach, suggesting uncertainty over Bitcoin’s immediate direction.

Retail Traders Remain Slightly Optimistic

In contrast to the larger players, small-order traders—primarily retail participants—showed marginal buying strength:

Buys: 977.88 BTC

Sells: 941.40 BTC

Inflow: +36.47 BTC
