Why this report matters

The report covers derivatives positioning, volatility trends, and funding dynamics across Bitcoin and Ethereum, along with sentiment, technical signals, ETF and stablecoin flows, option activity, expected trading ranges for the next 1–2 weeks, and key upcoming market catalysts.

Volumes are collapsing, positioning is thinning, and traders are quietly pulling back exposure. Oversold conditions alone are not enough when liquidity is evaporating, and conviction is fading. Derivatives markets are shifting, volatility is mispriced, and capital flows tell a story most investors are ignoring. This is one of those moments where what isn’t happening may matter more than what is, and missing it could be costly.

Since the Trump inauguration, the crypto market cap has declined by $1.3 trillion, and Binance spot trading volumes, as the major crypto exchange, have declined by 95%.

This report equips you with the most important data points across the crypto market, positioning, liquidity, flows, volatility, and catalysts, so you are fully prepared for the week ahead.
