8. STRUCTURAL SCENARIOS

SCENARIO_A STRUCTURAL SCENARIO (Model Scenario Weight: 50%)

Structural Direction: Bearish
Development Hypothesis: Absorption at current highs fails as heavy ask walls (577k USD ask depth vs 33k bid depth) and negative spot CVD cause a mean-reversion sweep back toward the daily VWAP.
Development Condition: 84950.0 | Break below value area high and acceleration of spot selling.
Supporting Evidence: Rejection from 85k absorption zone, loss of 84.95k, fast liquidation of trapped longs leading to a sweep of 84.69k and 84.38k.
Confirmation Signals: Break below value area high and acceleration of spot selling.
Scenario Invalidation: Structural hypothesis fails if {'price': 85350.0}
Potential Structural Reference Levels: $84,689.33, $84,588.00, $84,377.03

SCENARIO_B STRUCTURAL SCENARIO (Model Scenario Weight: 30%)

Structural Direction: Bullish
Development Hypothesis: Perpetual buying and OI expansion successfully absorb the sell pressure, clearing the stacked asks and testing 85,300+ liquidity.
Development Condition: 85050.0 | Spot CVD turns positive alongside expanding perp CVD and book replenishment on bids.
Supporting Evidence: Hold above 84,983 USD absorption level, breakout through ask stack, triggering short covering towards 85,307 USD.
Confirmation Signals: Spot CVD turns positive alongside expanding perp CVD and book replenishment on bids.
Scenario Invalidation: Structural hypothesis fails if {'price': 84800.0}
Potential Structural Reference Levels: $85,189.01, $85,307.40, $85,872.60

SCENARIO_C STRUCTURAL SCENARIO (Model Scenario Weight: 20%)

Structural Direction: Bearish
Development Hypothesis: Thin bid depth (33k USD) triggers a liquidity cascade down to weekly value area low upon any minor selling wave.
Development Condition: 84500.0 | Sudden depletion of bids and high volume long liquidations.
Supporting Evidence: Immediate cascading drop through multiple structural levels due to lack of resting bid liquidity.
Confirmation Signals: Sudden depletion of bids and high volume long liquidations.
Scenario Invalidation: Structural hypothesis fails if {'price': 85100.0}
Potential Structural Reference Levels: $84,377.03, $83,314.90, $81,573.50

9. THESIS INVALIDATION CRITERIA

Spot CVD turns strongly positive while ask depth is pulled.
Aggregate OI drops sharply without price movement indicating long capitulation already finished.

10. REAL-TIME MONITORING PRIORITIES
