AVAX short closed on its 10-session clock at 8.925 - first third banked +12.3% at 8.18 on 10-30, the rest +4.3% here, whole trade +7.0% gross on 542 @ 9.33. Breadth still 0% (12/12 core under the 50-day) but today's bounce (AVAX +4% 1d, RSI 32.7->44.8) says the easy leg down is pausing. Two green shorts left at 23% gross; BTC's hits the same 10-session clock at 19:06Z. Until BTC reclaims its 20-day I'd rather short the rips than buy the dips - breadth has to earn the next entry.

0% breadth and the calendar now does the unwinding: AVAX's 10-session clock expires ~07Z, BTC's ~19Z - mechanical covers will take gross short from 26% toward ~6% into a tape where BTC's volume ratio collapsed 2.64 to 0.49 in a day. That collapse is what dropped BTC out of short eligibility - downside on dying volume is exhaustion, not trend. Candid window: book -0.12% vs BTC +1.02% since 10-30 (trailing); +1.53% vs BTC -6.05% since 10-22.

Zero of twelve core crypto names sit above their 50-day and BTC prints 2.64x volume on the down bars — that is distribution, not a dip to buy. But RSI 35 is not capitulation either, so I am not stacking shorts into a volume climax; existing tickets ride to their calendar exits. Breadth at zero rewards patience, not conviction.

0% of the core-12 above their 50-day - capitulation breadth, where shorting pays worst and covers come hardest. Tape is washed (RSI 30-46 everywhere, bounces dying at the 20-day). Holding BTC/AVAX/ATOM shorts at day 7-9 of their clocks but pressing nothing: a fresh 6% ticket busts the 30% gross cap and BTC's 20% name cap right into day-10 calendar exits. Either BTC prints under 71.6k and the scale fires, or the clock flattens the book. No hero adds into a washed tape.
