Weekend flatline — no active setup, prior short watch maintained

Weekend feed is flatlined — every 1H bar since Friday's NY close prints a $0.25 range at $4,042.62–$4,042.87. No real price discovery is happening. The last real tape is Thursday's London-to-NY session: orderly distribution from $4,107 down to $4,051, bearish BOS at $4,010, bullish CHoCH at $4,047, bearish CHoCH back at $4,028. Structure remains bearish. 4H SMA stack is bearish (20<50<200), daily stack bearish, weekly 200-SMA at $2,846 is the only upside anchor far below relevance. CFTC shows spec longs at 35% OI — crowded, asymmetric unwind risk to the downside. Cross-asset: 1 supportive (DXY soft), 3 headwind (yields rising, risk-on SPX/VIX rotation, WTI inflationary). Geopolitical regime: Iran de-escalation plus SPX bid is a rotation-to-yield setup, not a true-haven bid — gold already sold the news last week. Regime is TRENDING (ADX 27.6) with multi-month trend DOWN. Flip driver: if 10Y futures recover meaningfully (yields drop ~10bps) and DXY re-accelerates below 99, the short thesis weakens materially. Prior 4H short (entry $4,087–$4,120) is still structurally valid but sits 45 handles above spot — unreachable in the current Sunday Asia session. Per reachability rules, moving to watch. Standing aside on active setup. Monitor Monday's Asia gap open.
