BTC moving inside one exchange — hot↔cold operational sweep

Definition

Sender = recipient on a labeled exchange (or sender + recipient both labeled at the same exchange). Operational hot↔cold rebalance, NOT a real flow. We isolate it from inflow/outflow noise to keep demand signals clean (added 29.04.2026 fix).

Context anchor

~10–15% of whale moves at exchange-clusters; previously misclassified as self_send
