Reasoning
Level-reaction short at the developing day VAH ($65,463) and session high region ($65,513). The 15m candle closing 15:45 UTC wicked above $65,463 (high $65,513) and CLOSED back below it at $65,335.8 — a swing-failure/rejection at the developing VAH, which per method is where you look for shorts (above fair value). Corroboration: CCV bias is short, Fear & Greed 25 (extreme fear), 5m delta flat/slightly negative (-8.3 BTC) refusing to confirm the new high, and 4h OI showing short-covering into this push rather than fresh long conviction. Entry near current price at the rejection close; stop just above the swept high/wick at $65,565 (invalidation of the failed auction). T1 at daily VWAP $64,950 (nearest structural level and dev POC $64,938 cluster) where first half is booked; T2 at dev day VAL $64,726, the value-area low objective. R:R to T2 = ~610/229 ≈ 2.66:1, clearing the 2:1 floor.
