What actually moves Polkadot

Polkadot's short-term moves come from derivatives positioning, not spot alone. Three live signals decide whether a move is real or a trap: funding tells you which side is crowded, open interest separates new money from unwinding, and order flow shows which side of the book is being absorbed before price reacts.
