SHORT SLV	iShares Silver Trust	Silver in bearish descending channel below 50MA ($74.45 rejection), RSI 46, targeting $72.00.

LONG ETH-USD	Ethereum	Spot ETH ETFs snapped 17-day outflow streak with $19.3M inflow June 4 — first institutional demand signal in weeks. RSI ~15 (lowest ever recorded per analysts).
