Futures market: look at the structure before discussing direction
In the futures market, I only look at positioning and crowding, not group chat messages.
For futures, I only care about three sets of numbers. Everything else is noise.
1. BTC 74852, 24h range 73750-75599, change -0.97%.
2. BTC open interest notional: $7.41 billion, 24h +2.67%
3. Account-wide long/short ratio: 2.72
My view: price is down -0.97%, but open interest is still rising +2.67%—new short positions. Treat a bounce as a pullback for now, not a reversal.
Execution ranges (based on current price ± structure, not an old chart):
- Momentum zone: only consider chasing if it gets above 75,451; otherwise, it’s a false breakout
- Buy the retest: 73,954-74,403; don’t buy if it loses that level
- No-trade zone: if the 1h candle closes below 73,505, skip this trade
My position: I only buy retests, not breakouts. If the structure holds, I can keep a starter position; any add must wait for the retest zone.

Would you dare add to your position at this funding rate?

Takeaway: when gas spikes on ETH, on-chain activity tends to cool first, while the deriv market often reacts later.
Thought: Fear and Greed <25: sentiment is cold, but that doesn’t confirm a bottom.
