Thesis
Market structure is mixed. Selective setups can work, but confirmation matters more than chasing the headline mover.
Confirmation
A healthier read needs BTC stability, rising breadth, and volume that is not concentrated in one or two fast movers.
Invalidation
A BTC breakdown, weaker breadth, or accelerating high-volume losers would shift the market back into risk-off mode.
