Structure: daily VWAP $73,570 (Tier-2 session fair value) sitting right on top of the developing dVAL $73,487 — price is above value in a strong one-time-framing-up market (daily closed up at highs, 4H/1H all higher highs and higher lows off $68,844). Trigger: the 15m candle that CLOSED at 00:15 UTC (O $73,443.6 H $73,847.2 L $73,297.0 C $73,633.5, closed UP) is the close THROUGH/above VWAP and the prior 1H high $73,426.7 (pdH); the current price $73,541.5 IS the retest — the 00:35 5m candle wicked below VWAP to $73,462 and closed back above at $73,582.7, an imperfect retest into the trigger candle's body, not an extension beyond it. Corroboration: CVD confirming_up (+305 BTC), 5m taker delta +32.6 BTC confirming at the level, OI +0.74% on 4H (healthy uptrend, new money), funding only +0.0066% (normal — no crowded longs), value migrating clearly higher day over day. Stop $73,280 sits below the trigger candle's low/local swing and back inside prior balance — a close there says VWAP is lost and the reclaim failed. T1 is dPOC $73,775.5 (nearest structure), T2 is dVAH/dHigh $73,940 (main objective), T3 the naked daily POC above at $75,872.5. Risk to stop = $261.5; reward to T2 = $398.5 → ~1.5:1, below the 2:1 general rule, so I invoke the CCV/failed-auction-class reclaim... it does not apply here; instead the governing statistic is the SFP/reclaim-at-level trade whose preconditions hold (obvious pre-existing level swept — VWAP/dVAL, reclaim close printed, tight invalidation at the sweep wick, delta and OI confirming) — I keep size modest and bank a larger T1 fraction (20%) given the sub-2:1 ratio to T2 and the fact price is near the developing day high.
