  "waterfall_summary": "The market predominantly operated in an [Absorption](https://thru.capital/ontology#absorption-the-wall) regime, characterized by a structural bid absorbing sell-side pressure. Short-term volatility was marked by localized [Liquidation Cascades](https://thru.capital/ontology#liquidation-cascade) and [Failed Expansions](https://thru.capital/ontology#failed-expansion), indicating rejected breakout attempts and deleveraging. While structural absorption persisted, a significant portion of spot and perpetual markets remained in an [Indeterminate](https://thru.capital/ontology#indeterminate-ambiguous) state, reflecting low-conviction chop and conflicting signals.
