Flow / price disagreement
Aggressive buying while price falls, or aggressive selling while price rises, on the same contract and hour.
Latest completed UTC hour: → (end exclusive). Cache: 120 seconds; failed reads retry after 30 seconds.
Up to 50 selected perpetual contracts, one contract per coin from the existing screener universe, ranked by stored volume in the preceding 24 completed UTC hours; only linear non-HIP-3 contracts qualify. Sources: Binance, Bybit and Hyperliquid public exchange bars. USDT / USDC quote amounts and Hyperliquid USD notional are shown as USD equivalents.
Coverage: 49 eligible of 50 selected contracts. All 60 exact minute bars, a valid first open / last close, at least $1M hourly volume and a known taker split on every minute are required. Missing flow is never treated as balanced.
Return = close / open − 1. Net flow = taker buys − taker sells. Imbalance = net flow / split volume. Matches require imbalance ≥ 10% with return ≤ −0.5%, or imbalance ≤ −10% with return ≥ 0.5%; ranked by absolute imbalance, then absolute return.
This is observed direction disagreement. It does not establish iceberg orders, trader intent, causality or the next price direction.
Zero observed direction disagreements among 49 eligible contracts.
