Bitcoin trades at $78,539.14 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 51.0%, indicating a near-even split in directional preference. The 1-hour buy ratio drops to 48.4% while the 4-hour ratio rises to 53.1%, suggesting short-term selling pressure is emerging against a longer-term neutral stance. Volume delta reflects this divergence, showing a -$2,340,106 net outflow in the last hour compared to a +$9,615,977 inflow over four hours. Despite the hourly outflow, the 24-hour volume delta remains strongly positive at +$40,417,819. However, the cumulative volume delta (CVD) at the 24-hour close is -$3,448,344, indicating that recent price action has been driven more by selling than buying. With net buying hours at 13 out of 24, buying pressure appears to be fading or consolidating after earlier accumulation.
