• Price structure on 4H and 1D is labeled uptrend, but macro EMAs (100/200) on daily are still sloping down, framing this as a shorter-term recovery within a broader down context.

• Derivatives positioning is neutral: balanced LPI, neutral FOP, near-zero funding, and modest OI changes, indicating no strong perp-driven bias.
• Key structural references around current price include:
  • S1 $1,883, R1 $1,948, 4H POC $1,875.62, 4H VAH $1,932.49.
