## Positioning and flow
Funding at +0.0100% per eight hours, +10.9% a year, open interest about $0.15bn. 24-hour move -0.39% on $0.03bn of spot volume. Top traders' long/short ratio 2.19, the 99th percentile of the past three weeks, taker buy/sell 1.12. Open interest is long liquidation — contracts -2.00% against price -1.07% over 24 hours, counted in contracts rather than dollars, which means longs being flushed out, and the flush exhausts itself.
## The news
Tone reads bullish (+44) over 34 opinionated headlines; themes: flows & positioning, products & deals, crypto-native. Headline risk normal.
## Risk
Position size so that the stop costs at most 1% of the account. No averaging down, no grid, no martingale. Perpetual leverage above the stop distance invites liquidation before the stop.
