Reasoning

The settled previous-month VAH at $64,599 rejected price: the closed 03:15 UTC 5m candle opened above it at $64,622.4 and closed back below at $64,541.5, providing the level-reaction trigger. Bearish 4h CVD, rising OI in the reported strong downtrend, and positive funding corroborate trapped-long/downside pressure, while flat 5m delta does not contradict the structure. Entry is at the trigger close, with invalidation just above its $64,622.4 high; T1 is daily VWAP at $64,511.8 and T2 is the developing daily POC at $64,378.5, giving approximately 2.0:1 R:R to T2.
