Reasoning

Sweep-reclaim short at the settled previous-day high of $64,893.3: the closed 15m candle at 15:15 UTC wicked to $64,922.0 and reclaimed below pdH at $64,855.3, confirming a bearish SFP rather than entry on proximity. Bearish 4h CVD context and 5m delta divergence corroborate the rejection, while rising OI and mildly positive funding into the high support newly trapped longs; broader structure remains rotational rather than a clean bullish trend. Entry is near the reclaim close, with invalidation $138 beyond the sweep wick; T1 is developing VAH at $64,754 and T2 is daily VWAP at $64,382.6, giving approximately 2.39:1 R:R to T2.
