That day's view: Yesterday BTC closed at $78,306 (open $78,455, high $79,760, low $77,770), down 0.19% on the daily chart, showing a high-range consolidation small bearish candle pattern. Full-day range was 2.55%, with volume of 14,130 BTC slightly declining from the previous day, and short-term buying and selling forces balanced. Funding rate average +0.00557%, still in a mild positive zone with minimal cost difference between longs and shorts, no extreme crowding signals. OI fell from 106,627 contracts to 105,106, down 1.43% daily, with price consolidation coinciding with declining open interest—this represents signal (c₁) active deleveraging by longs (primarily profit-taking). Funding staying positive and not flipping indicates this isn't panic selling but longs taking profits in a high "Greed" environment. FGI reading at 66, maintaining "Greed" zone for three consecutive days, market sentiment moderately bullish but not reaching extreme greed threshold of 75+. Overall assessment: currently in a high-range consolidation phase, no trend reversal signals yet but upward slope clearly slowing. $80,000 round number remains key resistance, short-term breakout above with volume could resume uptrend; breach below $77,500 (yesterday's low + previous support) would signal weakening long structure. Events to watch: tonight's US CPI data and FOMC officials' speeches this week, macro expectations divergence may amplify volatility—recommend staying on sidelines, avoid chasing highs.
