  • 4H/1D: Rising CVD, bullish divergences.
  • 1W: Falling CVD, bearish divergence and negative CMF.
• Open Interest has declined over recent days and weeks (4D/24D), with neutral funding and balanced leverage pressure, while remaining higher over 24W.
• The macro environment is labeled Risk On with bullish alt breadth and stablecoin pressure, spot dominance, and strong BTC/equity correlation, but overlaid with a distribution_phase label referencing BTC ETF selling.
