$BMT : Volume Surges 2.5x, But the Bearish Structure Still Demands Confirmation Before the Next Move

My short-term bias remains bearish below 0.02182. Despite the 2.5x volume expansion, the 1H structure is still pointing downward, while daily and weekly trends remain bullish. This makes the current setup counter-trend, so I want to see a clear rejection before considering a short position.

Key Market Signals:

- The 1H structure and bearish BTC trend continue to favor caution on the long side.
- Open Interest is down 7.1%, suggesting leveraged positions are being reduced.
- Negative funding at -0.1613% shows a strong short-side imbalance.
- The 1.39 taker ratio indicates buyer-dominant market activity, making an immediate bearish continuation less certain.

My Trading Strategy:

Bearish Scenario:
I want to see price sweep the 0.02182 liquidity level, followed by a bearish engulfing candle or a lower-timeframe Market Structure Shift (MSS).

Potential Targets:

- TP1: 0.02082
- TP2: 0.02001
- Extended Target: 0.01958

Invalidation: A confirmed 1H close above 0.02182 would flip my short-term bias bullish.

My Take: The 2.5x volume spike deserves attention, but volume alone does not confirm accumulation or distribution. With heavily negative funding and declining OI, a short squeeze remains a risk. I prefer waiting for confirmation rather than chasing either direction.

Patience, confirmation, and risk management come first.
