Reason: Coins remain death-crossed 50-82% off high even after a bounce; the equity proxies (miners + HOOD) hold structure better than the underlying coins — HOOD is the strongest chart in the whole complex.

Tape-read: Every major coin (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE, AVAX, DOT, LINK) is still death-crossed and 50-82% off its 52-week high despite a broad short-term bounce. The tell is in the equity proxies: the miner basket (MARA/RIOT/CLSK) and BITQ are golden-crossed in a pullback regime — not collapse like the coins — and HOOD is the single strongest chart in the group (RSI 70.1, +38.2% 30D, +68.8% 3M).

• HOOD — PROMOTE: RSI 70.1, pullback (not collapse), +38.2% 30D, -23.6% off 52wk high — strongest technical setup in the crypto-adjacent complex; approaching overbought but the clear leader.
• RIOT — WATCH: RSI 38.9, golden cross intact, pullback regime, +61.2% 3M despite a sharp -19.8% 7D pullback — the "equities lead crypto out of the bottom" thesis, still not confirmed.
• BTC-USD — PASS: RSI 49.6, collapse regime, death cross, -50.1% off 52wk high — a bounce week (+6.7%) inside a still-broken structure, not a reversal.
• DOGE-USD — PASS: RSI 38.1, -12.5% today (worst mover of the session), 30-day downtrend with no stabilization.

Lead pick: HOOD — the one name in the complex confirming an actual uptrend rather than a dead-cat bounce. Miners (RIOT/MARA/CLSK) are the watch: golden-crossed while the coins stay collapsed, but wait for BTC to base before treating the divergence as investable.
