Reasoning

The settled previous-week VAH at $64,291 was reclaimed by the closed 17:30 UTC 15m candle, which opened below it at $64,205 and closed above it at $64,380.5, providing the level-reaction trigger. CVD and 5m taker delta both confirm upward participation, while the 24h OI backdrop is a healthy uptrend and mild positive funding is not contradictory; the 4h OI decline shows some short covering, so risk remains tightly defined. Entry is near the trigger close, with the stop at $64,090 about 0.2% beyond the trigger wick and below the reclaimed weekly VAH; T1 is the settled previous-month VAH at $64,599 and T2 is the naked daily POC at $64,938.5, giving approximately 2.05:1 R:R to T2.
