Reasoning

Sweep-reclaim short at the settled previous-week VAH of $64,425: the CLOSED 2026-08-05 12:00 UTC 30-minute candle wicked to $64,526.9 and closed back below pwVAH at $64,424.8, confirming an aggressive single-close failed auction. Corroboration is separate: positive funding and 4-hour/24-hour OI expansion into resistance favor newly opened longs becoming trapped, while the broader weekly tape remains balanced despite confirming-up CVD. Entry is near the reclaim close, the stop is beyond the $64,526.9 sweep wick, T1 is developing wVAH at $64,279, and T2 is the major pmPOC at $63,910.5; risk to T2 is approximately 3.01:1.
