Resting bids outweigh offers on Bitcoin and Ether spot books, yet the largest single block in each coin sits on the sell side, just above price. That held across 21 venues at 13:59 UTC on Oct 20.

$BTC at $81,888 carried $167.6M of bids against $144.5M of asks within 2%, an imbalance of +7.4% toward buyers. The biggest ask, $41.8M at $81,929, tops the biggest bid, $32.9M at $81,766.

$ETH at $2,401 lined up the same way: $103.2M of bids against $92.3M of asks, +5.6% toward buyers, with a $21.3M offer at $2,405 above a $19.2M bid at $2,400.

This is resting size that can be pulled at any time, not executed trades.
