Funding is near baseline overnight into Asia, so leverage is not crowded either way; the next move is more likely to come from spot flow than a liquidation cascade.
What to watch overnight into Asia
- BTC: last 80,790.60; 24h high 81,188.20 is the lid, 24h low 79,179.00 the floor; BTC is trading above this morning's 80,582.80, so that print is the first level buyers need to defend.
- ETH: last 2,355.40; 24h range 2,281.38-2,389.53; this morning's print 2,366.12 (-0.45%).
With BTC over this morning's level, an hourly close back below 80,582.80 is the first sign the move is fading.
