📊 Aug 29 Close — $BTC $77,994

Week: +1.1% but misleading. Hit $81,500 Friday, dumped -3% Saturday. Now grinding $77K–$78K.

The tell: Funding negative for 24/24 hours straight. Avg -0.039%, latest -0.049%. Shorts are paying to hold — and they are winning on price. That is a rare setup.

Today: Flat. $77,256–$78,150 range. Low volume. Weekend lethargy.

What is next:
• Above $79,300 (VWAP reclaim) = shorts underwater, squeeze watch
• Below $76,850 (4H range break) = distribution confirmed, $75K next
• Between = noise. Do not trade the middle.

TL;DR: Market is coiled. Shorts are loaded and paying. The next move is violent — direction depends on whether $76,850 holds or $79,300 reclaims. Pick your side, size accordingly.

Not financial advice.
