Reasoning

Short the settled previous-week VAH at $64,291: the closed 13:50 UTC 5m candle swept it to $64,313.9 and rejected back below at $64,190.5, also closing below daily VWAP at $64,243.7. Bearish 4h CVD context, bearish 5m delta divergence, positive funding, and price below VWAP corroborate the rejection; flat OI is neutral rather than a veto, while Extreme Fear is the main counterweight. Entry is just below the trigger close, with invalidation beyond its sweep wick at $64,330; T1 is the developing-day POC at $64,030.5 and T2 is the first-touch daily naked POC at $63,737.5, giving approximately 2.79:1 R:R to T2. Book half at T1 and move the remainder's stop to breakeven.
