What each number means
Daily trenddaily drop
A sharp fall over the last days: −9.3% over 3d, −26.7% over 7d, −26.0% over 30d, but it has not built a daily trend yet (20-day window): before it the picture was sideways.
Funding rateshorts overheated
Funding −0.288%: shorts are over-levered — risk of a short squeeze up when they buy back. The skew is accelerating — cascade risk is rising.
Open interestOI rising on a drop
The drop comes with rising OI (+1.1% over 4h): new positions are opening on the decline. OI does not say which side initiated. OI is accelerating.
RSIin range
RSI 40: neither overbought nor oversold — momentum is balanced.
EMA stackdowntrend
Price is below EMA200 and the averages are stacked bearish (20<50<200) — a steady downtrend.
MACDmomentum dead
MACD has flattened — momentum died out, no clear direction.
Volatility (ATR)volatility calm
Calm volatility (ATR 2.0%/h): a measured market, small moves. Volatility is compressing (squeeze).
Cumulative volume deltaselling edge
CVD is falling: more market selling than buying.
