The target from yesterday was met: I marked $86.272 and the price touched $87.396.
BTC $86.186 (+0.30%). Real 24h range $85.114-$87.396. Stay above my $84.609 line: the long bias is still alive.
FUTURES PANEL
· OI 109,548 BTC ($9.46B) -0.93% 24h
· Funding +0.0017%: almost zero
· Longs/shorts 47.9% / 52.1% (24h 46.9% / 53.1%)
· Top traders, accounts 51.0% / 49.0%
· Top traders, POSITION 68.6% / 31.4%
· Taker buy/sell 0.98 (24h 1.03)
What changed: price rose to $87.396 and OI went DOWN. After the mistake I admitted yesterday, I read it differently: OI falling while price is firm is consolidation, not weakness. But it’s also not fuel to break $87,500 in one shot.
The divergence remains: retail 52.1% short, top traders 68.6% long. Third consecutive day.
DOWN - longs get liquidated:
🔻 $85.737 · -0.52% · 33%
🔻 $84.887 · -1.51% · 67%
🔻 $82.290 · -4.52% · 100% (the heaviest)
UP - shorts get liquidated:
🔺 $86.634 · +0.52% · 26%
🔺 $87.484 · +1.51% · 51%
🔺 $90.082 · +4.52% · 77%
My decision: I stay long as long as $84.887 holds. Target $87.484. But without OI rising that jump is hard: if in 24h OI doesn’t follow, I go neutral even if price holds.
