| Indicator | Score | Reading |

| Crowding Risk lower is better · high confidence | 38/100 | Extreme single-name concentration meets a genuinely two-sided 2026: distress in some names, continued accumulation in others. |
| Reflexivity Risk lower is better · high confidence | 85/100 | The single most reflexive corner of the digital-asset complex: valuation, financing and narrative are fully fused to the BTC price. |
