  "waterfall_summary": "The market predominantly operated within an [Absorption](https://thru.capital/ontology#absorption-the-wall) regime, accounting for 76724 state blocks. Minor shifts included 184 blocks of [Expansion](https://thru.capital/ontology#expansion-discovery) and 93 blocks of [Compression](https://thru.capital/ontology#compression-coiling), alongside 8601 blocks classified as [Indeterminate](https://thru.capital/ontology#indeterminate-ambiguous), indicating limited directional conviction outside of the primary absorption.
