Collect the promise from yesterday, with the three conditions:

1) "Long as long as it holds $84.887" -> it was met. The minimum was $85.267.
2) "Target $87.484" -> it did NOT reach. The maximum was $87.279.
3) "If the OI doesn’t follow, I go to neutral" -> it triggered: OI -3.40% in 24h.

Bias change: NEUTRAL. The promise was public and it’s fully collected.

BTC $85.474 (-0.78%). Real 24h range $85.267-$87.279.

FUTURES PANEL
· OI 105,847 BTC ($9.05B) -3.40% 24h
· Funding +0.0039%: almost zero
· Longs/shorts 48.4% / 51.6% (24h 48.5% / 51.5%)
· Top traders, accounts 51.0% / 49.0%
· Top traders, POSITION 65.6% / 34.4% (24h: 68.6%)
· Taker buy/sell 0.86: sell-side flow

The top traders REDUCED their long from 68.6% to 65.6%: the 4-day divergence is starting to ease. When the signal that was supporting my bias weakens, the bias weakens.

Tight between two zones: -0.52% ($85,029) on the downside and +0.52% ($85,919) on the upside.

DOWN - longs get liquidated:
🔻 $85,029 · -0.52% · 33%
🔻 $84,186 · -1.51% · 67%
🔻 $81,610 · -4.52% · 100% (heaviest)
UP - shorts get liquidated:
🔺 $85,919 · +0.52% · 26%
🔺 $86,762 · +1.51% · 51%
🔺 $89,338 · +4.52% · 77%

My decision: neutral. I go back to a long bias only if two things happen together: OI stops falling and price recovers $86,762. If it loses $84,186, the scenario turns bearish—and I’ll say it too.
