BTC whales: $24M long vs $27M short, net negative bias with +$8M PnL
ETH positioning: slight short bias at $9.6M long/$10.9M short, -$494K PnL

IMPLICATION
Tactical long precious metals vs tech momentum while geopolitical relief window remains open. Hedge quantum risk in crypto positions — defensive rotation accelerating despite headline strength suggests underlying fragility.

Markets exhibited a maturing decoupling narrative today, with crypto assets finding institutional footing amid municipal adoption waves while traditional equities weakened on late-cycle concerns. The VIX spike to 24.54 and bond strength reflected growing recession hedging as institutional flows increasingly treat digital assets as a separate risk class.
