• 4H structure and EMAs show short-term strength, while 1D structure and macro EMAs remain bearish.
• ETF flows have been net positive in recent days.
• Orderflow is constructive intraday (rising 4H CVD) but cautious on the daily (negative CVD and bearish divergence).
• Volatility compression (TTM squeeze, daily Bollinger bandwidth) coexists with clear support/resistance and volume profile levels, framing a market that is structurally defined but not yet directionally resolved in this dataset.
