The link is strongest almost immediately. Total flow's correlation with the move peaks at the ~5-second window (ρ≈0.33 on BTC) and fades monotonically toward the daily scale. Imbalance peaks much later (~10 min) and even there is tiny (ρ≈0.008). The usable edge is short-horizon, and it is about magnitude — not side.
