What moves Bitcoin?

Bitcoin's short-term moves come from derivatives positioning, not just spot. EnsoTrade reads three live signals: funding (which side is crowded), open interest (new money vs unwinding), and order flow (which side of the book is absorbed). Together they show if a move is real or a trap.
