Reasoning

The settled previous-month VAH at $64,599, reinforced by the nearby developing-day VAH at $64,627, has rejected price: the closed 03:44 UTC 1m candle opened above pmVAH at $64,618.4 and closed back below it at $64,582.7. The short is corroborated by confirming-down 4h CVD, positive funding, and 4h open interest rising 2.73% during the immediate downtrend, while flat 5m delta does not oppose the rejection. Entry is at the trigger close, with invalidation just above its $64,618.4 high; T1 is daily VWAP at $64,513.1 and T2 is the developing daily POC at $64,378.5, giving approximately 4.83:1 R:R to T2.
