The 1H candle from 16:00 to 17:00 closed after falling from 78,600.3 to 77,850.0, closing below 78,000. This hour’s notional trading volume was 973 million USDT, 2.85 times that of the previous hour.

Price has already broken down, and the perpetual contract funding rate captured at 17:31 is still +0.0084%. The long-side paying structure hasn’t flipped in sync yet, which will amplify the information content of the next 1H candle.

The next move still closes below 78,000 and probes down to 77,663, and the breakdown continues; once price recovers above 78,600, this round’s breakdown will be considered a false breakout—monitor for confirmation.

What conditions would make you reclassify this 78,000 breakdown as a false breakdown?
