SRE (WhaleQuant Structural Regime Engine) SRE evaluates how price structure evolves across daily and weekly timeframes to define the prevailing market regime. Beyond identifying trends, consolidations, and exhaustion phases, it distinguishes between raw structural strength and deployable participation quality. The model dynamically adjusts for structural context and extension risk, assessing whether conditions are supportive, stretched, fragile, or structurally impaired. Its purpose is not to forecast precise price levels, but to determine whether risk deployment is aligned with underlying market structure.

This reading is based on the last 20 trading days of 15-minute price, volume, and VWAP data. Price is trading 5.1% below the recent estimated cost basis of 13.75, so the recent structure is still leaning under pressure. Price is below the main cost band (13.29 to 13.52), and roughly 99% of recent positioning remains under water. That means rebounds can still run into supply from trapped holders. The higher up selling area sits around 13.27 to 13.59, and overhead supply looks fairly concentrated there. Recent trading is fairly concentrated, so the nearby heavy zones may matter more than usual. From a trading point of view, this setup remains tougher until price can reclaim the lower edge of the main cost band near 13.29.
