• Momentum: 4H shows short‑term improvement and volatility compression (TTM Squeeze active), while 1D remains strongly bearish with high ADX and negative EMAs.
• Derivatives & Flow: OI rising, funding neutral, CVD negative and falling, indicating persistent net selling within an increasingly active derivatives environment.
• Correlation: AVAX is highly correlated with BTC (0.92, beta 1.04), anchoring its behavior to broader crypto moves.

This combination defines a market state where short‑term stabilization and compression coexist with a dominant bearish higher‑timeframe structure and strong BTC‑linked dynamics.
