Reasoning

The settled previous-month VAH at $64,599 rejected price: the closed 02:10 UTC 5m candle opened above it at $64,619.1 and closed below at $64,579.4, providing the level-reaction short trigger. The read is corroborated by confirming-down 4h CVD, rising OI during the strong downtrend backdrop, and positive funding that leaves longs vulnerable; flat 5m delta does not contradict the rejection. Entry is just below the trigger close, with invalidation above its $64,619.1 local high; T1 is daily VWAP at $64,510.6 and T2 is the developing-day POC at $64,378.5. Risk is $49.4 versus $197.1 to T2, approximately 3.99:1; book half at T1 and move the remainder to breakeven.
