  • Downward-sloping EMAs on 1D, price below all major EMAs.
  • High ADX and dominant -DI, confirming a strong downside trend.
  • Very high realized volatility and expanded Bollinger Bands.
• Flows and positioning:

  • Rising OI on both 4H and 1D,
  • Slightly negative funding and moderate short leverage pressure,
  • Falling CVD and negative net delta on both timeframes, with consistent divergence.
