Contract market: first look at structure, then talk direction.

Before price speaks, leverage should stay quiet.

First look at position crowding, then look at price.

BTC open interest notional: 7.67 billion USD, 24h -3.67%
All-account long/short ratio: 1.75
BTC 82619 (-0.63%), ETH 2505 (-2.49%).

Funding rate 0.0031% is close to zero, long/short ratio 1.75, leverage has not picked a side. If it has not picked a side, don’t use high leverage to pick one for it.

Key levels: above 83,280, below 81,132. No more than 2x account equity on one side; place stop-loss outside the structure, not at a round number in your head.

If the funding rate rises from near zero to above 0.01%, longs are front-running. I wait for a retest, not the first breakout.

Are you now flat waiting for a pullback, or already on the ride?
