BTC/USDT:USDT
BTC demonstrates a classic funding-price divergence on 4H/1D, with negative funding (-0.006%) coexisting with a +3.5% daily rally. This forces underwater shorts to cover, creating self-reinforcing upward pressure. Price has broken the 76,200 supply zone and formed a tight bull flag on 15M. Expecting continuation toward 80,500 as squeeze mechanics accelerate. Invalidation on 1H close below 75,800.
