Analysis

  1. Futures leverage continues to decline, indicating short-term sentiment turning cautious; but options open interest is concentrated near at-the-money, implying market expectations of range-bound oscillation.
  2. Large long leverage is concentrated at $3,000–3,050, serving as a dividing line between bulls and bears; if it holds steady, short sellers may cover or push the price to test $3,138 / $3,186.
  3. Overall funding rates are slightly positive, with long and short forces roughly balanced; combined with narrowing Bollinger Bands, a directional choice may be imminent in the short term.
