OKX: OKX spot price at 79237.5 with CVD -0.567; OKX linear perp at 79195.0 with CVD -1.9749.
Deribit: Deribit perpetual price at 79219.5 with heavy negative perp CVD at -32.54.

Agreement & Divergence: Spot and perp prices across major venues are tightly bound around 79200. Perpetuals show moderate selling pressure (negative CVD on Binance, Hyperliquid, and Deribit), while spot flows are relatively mixed.

4. ORDER-FLOW DIAGNOSIS

Spot CVD: Spot CVD 5m is slightly negative at -0.9404, indicating light net selling across spot venues.
Perpetual CVD: Perp CVD 5m is strongly negative at -38.4195, led by Deribit and Binance perpetual outflows.
Open Interest Dynamics: Aggregate OI is 158,819.74 BTC with a 5-minute velocity of -0.728 bps, indicating minor deleveraging/position reduction.
Funding & Basis: Aggregate funding rate is mildly positive at 0.262 bps, though Hyperliquid exhibits a negative rate of -0.109 bps.
Liquidation Events: No recent liquidations recorded in the past 5 minutes (0.0 volume, 0 events).

Causal Sequence: Perpetual selling pressure (negative perp CVD) is not translating into meaningful downward price displacement due to balanced resting liquidity and passive absorption near the 79200 level.
