• Orderflow and OI are net positive and rising, with funding modestly positive and market state neutral, and volume profile places BTC above 4H/1D value areas but inside weekly value and below weekly POC.
• Structural references cluster around $76k, $73k–$75k, $81k–$82k, $84k–$86k, and $90k+, framing the current high-volatility consolidation within a broader multi-timeframe range.
