Structure: pmVAL $62,390 (tier-one settled previous-month value area low) sits just under the day's low — price wicked to $62,185.8, sweeping both the pdL region/dLow and pmVAL, then reclaimed. Trigger: the 15m candle that CLOSED at 18:45 UTC (O $62,282.5 / L $62,190.7 / C $62,486.9) is a reclaim close back above pmVAL after the sweep wick — a textbook failed-auction/SFP reclaim, corroborated by the 18:55 5m close back above $62,390 and the 18:59 1m close. Corroboration: CCV bias is long, funding is only mildly positive (+0.0078%, no crowded long), OI is falling into the flush (-1.49% on 4h — sellers exhausting rather than new shorts committing), Delta 5m has gone flat/slightly positive (+31 BTC) refusing to confirm the new low, and Fear at 27 is a sentiment extreme. Stop $62,050 sits ~0.2% beyond the $62,185.8 sweep wick — a close back under kills the reclaim. T1 $62,792 is the cluster of daily VWAP $62,782 / D-Open & M-Open $62,792 / pdVAL $62,811 — a genuinely significant level where price is likely to stall and range, so I bank a MAJOR 40% there; T2 $63,047 is the developing day high / dVAH-dPOC region above. R:R to T2 is ($63,047.4-$62,486.9)/($62,486.9-$62,050) = 560.5/436.9 ≈ 1.28:1 — under 2:1, so I take it only on the named setup: the failed auction / SFP reclaim of a tier-one level, whose stated win rate in the material (CCV 2.0 / SFP-failed-auction reclaim, measured to TP1) is 85-87%, above the 60% floor.
