Bulls and bears are both waiting. Let the derivatives market cool off for a moment.

Before price has its say, leverage should keep quiet.

Check how crowded positions are before looking at price.

BTC open interest notional: $7.80 billion, 24h +1.17%
Long/short ratio across all accounts: 1.28
BTC 83436 (+0.56%), ETH 2512 (-0.10%).

Funding rate is near zero at 0.0015%, and the long/short ratio is 1.28. Leverage hasn’t picked a side. If it hasn’t picked a side, don’t use high leverage to pick one for it.

Key levels: upside 84,103, downside 81,934. Keep any one-way position below 2x account equity. Place stop-losses beyond the structure, not at a round number that just feels right.

One thing to keep in mind for derivatives: if the 1h candle doesn’t close above 84168, cancel all breakout orders.

If memes aren’t outperforming BTC, are you still holding them?

Useful fact: Basis = futures price minus spot price. With a positive basis, longs pay.
Insight: When the large-trader long/short ratio is clearly higher than the all-account ratio, you can follow the direction, but don’t match their full position size.
