The EGTB bottom signal remains active, but confirmation is still absent. Volatility has cooled without stabilizing, positioning has reset through capitulation, and credit continues to hold. This is not a reversal — it is a bottoming process still in progress.

The market has moved from forced waiting into a panic-driven release phase. While the structural uptrend remains intact, volatility exhaustion and capital positioning indicate that a rebound is structurally required, though not necessarily directional confirmation.
