What is Order Flow Imbalance in crypto trading?

Order flow imbalance is the difference between aggressive buying and aggressive selling over a window — market orders lifting offers versus market orders hitting bids. Measured in volume it is the taker ratio; measured print by print it is the tape. A persistent imbalance that fails to move price is absorption; one that moves it is a trend.
