The first half is over—an assessment from within the shadows.

🧭 Morning trend
BTC $77,522 -2.89% | ETH $2,435.60 -2.21%
→ Morning high/low: $79,999 / $76,888 (24h)
→ Funding rate: BTC +0.0100% · Greed Index: 68 Greed

🔥 Hot spots (first half)
DEXE +31.84% ($2.526) — Continued squeeze as negative funding rate drives a breakout; trading volume surges beyond $40M, repeatedly pressing down short sellers
NIL +18.39% ($0.0513) — Breaks through the 0.050 level with increased volume, showing a strong, market-independent “hold-up” structure
HEMI +15.60% ($0.01215) — After a bottom “needle” wick, large orders absorbed by the main force; volume stays near highs around $30M

📉 The main “withdrawal” disaster zones
• NFP -65.85% ($0.0018) · VIC -42.96% ($0.0077) · VANRY -37.13% ($0.00074) · MOVR -27.29% ($0.77) · TUT -16.99% ($0.0406)

⚡ Shadow signals
• Extreme negative-funding squeeze: Against the backdrop of a market pullback, DEXE surged against the trend. Funding rate is close to the extreme negative threshold; bullish main force leveraged an overloading of short positions to complete a structural squeeze.
• Rotating existing capital into new seats: The “old” tickets that peaked last night—TUT, MOVR, VANRY, etc.—have entered a rapid liquidation phase. Liquidity quickly congregates into new breakout targets such as DEXE and NIL.

💡 What to watch in the afternoon
The big pie (BTC) probed the low around $76,888 this morning with a needle wick, then continued tight consolidation between $77,200 and $77,800 on reduced volume. Weekend spot buying demand is relatively weak, and the shorts have not yet launched a second wave of heavy sell-off.
The afternoon line in the sand is fixed at the $77,000 level:
If it can keep holding above $77,000, there’s still an expectation of a rebound to repair the gap toward $78,500 in the afternoon. If it falls below $76,800 again, the bulls’ defense will immediately retreat to $75,500. With the market in “no blind catching of the withdrawal old coins” mode, beware of the risk of liquidity being drained.
