From July through the September breakout, US trading hours drove most of Bitcoin's gains. Since then, the US session has become a net seller, reversing the direction of the bid that led the advance.
Why it matters
The change points to a loss of support from a session that had been a major driver of Bitcoin's rally. It marks a shift in trading direction, though the seed provides no figures on the scale of the selling.
Market impact
ETF flows and liquidations are part of the broader on-chain picture highlighted alongside the reversal. The key question for Bitcoin market watchers is whether US-session selling persists or gives way to renewed demand.
