**Funding Reset = Your Edge**

$BTC recovered to $85.7K post-liquidation flush, but the real signal isn't price—it's funding. BTC perps dropped to **0.0067%**, ETH at **0.0099%**, SOL near-neutral at **0.0006%**. After a $3B+ wipeout, leverage is out of the system.

Contrarian playbook: crowded longs = negative funding = risk. Reset funding after flush = cleaner setups. When open interest drops sharply alongside funding normalization, you're trading structure, not hype.

**Key level:** $84.2K holds as reclaim zone. Breakdown invalidates the reset thesis and signals continuation lower.

**Risk note:** Low funding doesn't guarantee upside—it removes the funding headwind. Size for failure at invalidation, not for moonshots.

Don't chase green candles when funding's hot. Wait for the washout, confirm the OI drain, then build your position as leverage exits.
