━━━━
🎯 Bottom Line
The short-term bias is mildly positive, but not convincing. Gains are modest, BTC's 3-day trend signal remains bearish while ETH is neutral, and funding rates are low. With sentiment at neutral and BTC dominance high, this looks more like a range than a breakout. Watch whether BTC can hold momentum and whether ETF inflows continue.

SOL open interest is declining while the price is slightly up; the long-short ratio of 1.83 is somewhat crowded, so beware of pullback risk.

BTC dominance is nearing 60%, while the alt season index is only 26—this is a Bitcoin-solo market.

Neutral sentiment + low funding rates—a typical range-bound scenario; no rush to act until the direction is clear.
