Yesterday I missed two things: the "real ceiling" at $81.695 (it reached $85.474) and the "unleveraged bounce" (the OI rose 3.63%).
I read it wrong: the OI was falling because positions were being closed, not because there were no buyers.
But the conditional I wrote down did happen: "if they confirm the buy and the OI rises, I change my bias". Strategy confirmed 950 BTC at $79.670 and the OI went up.
BTC $85.011 (+5.65%). Real 24h range $80.414-$85.474.
FUTURES PANEL
· OI 111,704 BTC ($9.53B) +2.71% 24h
· Funding +0.0100%: neutral after +5.65%, no euphoria
· Longs/shorts 47.5% / 52.5% (24h 49.0% / 51.0%)
· Top traders, accounts 49.4% / 50.6%
· Top traders, POSITION 68.5% / 31.5%
· Taker buy/sell 1.08 (24h 1.42)
Retail got MORE short (52.5%) while price was rising; top traders keep 68.5% long. That divergence was already in my post from yesterday: I saw it and didn’t follow it.
DOWN - longs get liquidated:
🔻 $84.609 · -0.47% · 33%
🔻 $83.751 · -1.48% · 67%
🔻 $81.177 · -4.51% · 100% (the heaviest)
UP - shorts get liquidated:
🔺 $85.414 · +0.47% · 26%
🔺 $86.272 · +1.48% · 51%
🔺 $88.846 · +4.51% · 77%
My decision: long bias while above $84.609 holds. Target $86.272. If it closes below $84.609, the breakout was false and I’ll say so.
