Short thesis

The 00:00 UTC 1h candle swept the settled previous-day high at $64,791.4, reached $64,839.4, and closed back below that high, prior-day VAH $64,739, and daily VWAP $64,747.5 at $64,703.0, confirming a bearish sweep-reclaim/failed auction. The short is corroborated by activated CCV short bias, bearish 4h CVD divergence, and rising 4h OI into resistance suggesting newly opened longs may be trapped; flat 5m delta does not oppose the rejection, while near-zero negative funding is only a mild counterweight. Entry is near the confirmed reclaim, with invalidation about 0.2% beyond the sweep wick at $64,970; T1 is the settled monthly VAH at $64,599 and T2 is the previous-day/naked POC at $64,110.5, giving approximately 2.11:1 risk:reward to T2, with 15% booked at T1 and the remainder protected at breakeven.
