$BTC: First, test the counterargument—what changes would overturn the current view?
This time, start with the conditions that would disprove it. The conclusion must be one that subsequent data could overturn.
Only then return to the upper and lower boundaries. The current explanation holds only if the price confirms it.
This record is current as of 12:27 Beijing time on October 31: Binance's $BTC was 77,298.02 USDT, while OKX read 77,251.20 at the same time. Short- and medium-term readings don't fully align: 15 minutes +0.05%, 1 hour -0.36%, and 4 hours -0.26%. Volume and derivatives readings: volume ratio 0.39, one-hour OI +0.03%, and funding rate +0.0100%.
Price, volume, and positions have yet to show a one-sided convergence, so for now, it's more appropriate to watch the range. Another explanation is that both longs and shorts are reducing exposure at the same time. Public OI shows only the change in total positions and cannot confirm which side is acting aggressively.
76,325.98 is the lower level to watch, and 78,657.52 is the upper confirmation level. Only a move above 78,657.52 confirms an upward move; only a break below 76,325.98 signals weakness. If neither level breaks, a one-sided view is temporarily invalid. I'll just note the changes rather than chase a single candlestick.
This is solely an observation of public market data and does not constitute investment advice.
