PassedNo clean swing entry: although price is pressing a major resistance region around the previous-week VAH $64,291, previous-month VAH $64,599, and prior-week/month high near $64,647, the authoritative TRIGGER FACTS block is absent and no specific CLOSED 30-minute rejection, reclaim, or continuation candle can be verified. The higher-timeframe price structure is also unavailable, so an established 4H/daily trend cannot be confirmed; proximity to resistance alone is only a watch.View thesis →
Jul 14, 2026, 15:30 UTC
PassedPASS: the authoritative TRIGGER FACTS block and raw price action are unavailable, so no specific CLOSED 30-minute candle can be named as a level-reaction, continuation, or sweep-reclaim trigger. Although price is near major weekly/monthly resistance around $64,291-$64,647, proximity alone is not tradable, and the missing 4H/daily structure also prevents confirming a clean higher-timeframe trend.View thesis →
Jul 14, 2026, 15:00 UTC
PassedThe 20:00 UTC 30-minute candle did reclaim the developing weekly VAL at $62,029, but that in-flight level is not a pre-existing settled HTF boundary and the candle did not sweep the stronger settled confluence at the prior-week low/monthly VAL near $61,210. Corroboration is also mixed—CCV long bias and rising OI into the decline support a bounce, while confirming-down CVD, positive funding, and bearish 4H structure oppose it—so the quality HTF level and clean directional alignment are missing.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 20:30 UTC
PassedPass: higher-timeframe candidates are nearby (the developing weekly VAL at $62,021 and previous-week VAL at $62,518), but no TRIGGER FACTS block or 30-minute candle data is provided, so no specific CLOSED 30-minute rejection, reclaim, or continuation close can be verified. The broader read is also conflicted: CCV is long-biased while CVD confirms down and price is below daily VWAP.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 20:00 UTC
PassedPASS: no machine-verified TRIGGER FACTS block or 30-minute candle data is provided, so no specific CLOSED 30-minute level-reaction, continuation, or sweep-reclaim trigger can be confirmed. Price is near the developing day/week VAL and low, with the prior-week low and monthly VAL below, but proximity alone is not tradable; broader signals are also mixed (CCV long bias and fear versus confirming-down CVD, positive funding, and price below VWAP).View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 19:30 UTC
PassedThe 18:00 UTC 30-minute candle reclaimed only the developing weekly low at $61,735.6, a fresh extreme rather than a pre-existing stop-rich HTF level, so it is not a valid sweep-reclaim trigger. The stronger prior-week low/monthly VAL support near $61,209 remains unreached and has no confirming 30-minute close, while CCV long bias conflicts with confirming-down CVD; therefore the required HTF level reaction and corroboration are missing.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 18:30 UTC
PassedA higher-timeframe support candidate is nearby at the $61,209–$61,210 confluence of the developing monthly VAL and previous-week low, but the required authoritative TRIGGER FACTS block provides no closed 30-minute candle confirming a rejection or reclaim. With CVD confirming down and positive funding conflicting with the long CCV bias, there is no corroborated continuation or level-reaction entry, so this remains a watch rather than a trade.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 18:00 UTC
PassedThe 13:30 UTC 30-minute candle did print a bullish wick-and-reclaim of the developing weekly VAL at $62,154, but this is a shifting in-flight level rather than a settled, obvious HTF boundary, while CVD remains confirming down. Using an honest stop beyond the $62,074.7 sweep wick (about $61,950), the next major objective beyond prior-week VAL $62,518 is the monthly POC at $62,700.5, giving only about 1.3:1 from the current $62,276 area—below the normal 2:1 floor without enough level quality to justify the exception.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 14:01 UTC
PassedThe 2026-07-13 13:00 UTC 30-minute candle reclaimed only the newly developing weekly low at $62,294.6, not a pre-existing stop-rich HTF level, and it closed below the settled prior-week VAL at $62,518 rather than rejecting it. A continuation short is also disallowed at this support area without a clean established 4H/daily downtrend, while CCV long bias conflicts with the bearish CVD/funding context, so the required quality level and corroborated trigger are missing.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 13:30 UTC
PassedThe 2026-07-13 07:00 UTC 30-minute candle did trigger a reclaim of the developing weekly POC at $62,739.5, with nearby settled monthly POC confluence at $62,700.5. However, directional corroboration is conflicted: CCV is long-biased, but CVD is confirming down, funding remains positive, and the 4H/weekly tape is ranging rather than clearly bullish, so the third trade condition is missing.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 07:30 UTC
PassedThe 2026-07-13 06:30 UTC 30-minute candle did close below the developing wPOC at $62,739.5, but that is a mid-value developing POC rather than a clean higher-timeframe range edge, and a short would run directly into the prior-month POC at $62,700.5 and previous-week VAL at $62,518. The qualifying HTF location and corroboration are missing: 4H structure is not an established downtrend, while CCV remains long-biased and Fear & Greed is 28, so this close is not a clean swing trigger.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 07:00 UTC
PassedThe 2026-07-13 06:00 UTC 30-minute candle did reclaim the developing weekly POC at $62,739.5, but this is a moving mid-range POC rather than a strong weekly/monthly boundary or pre-existing stop-rich swing level. Corroboration is also conflicted: CCV has a long bias, while CVD confirms down, price remains below daily VWAP, and positive funding does not support a clean swing long; therefore the higher-timeframe location and directional confluence are insufficient.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 06:30 UTC
PassedPASS: price is near the previous-month POC at $62,700.5 and developing monthly POC at $62,787.5, but the required authoritative TRIGGER FACTS block is absent, so no specific CLOSED 30-minute rejection, reclaim, or continuation candle can be verified. Higher-timeframe price action is also unavailable, preventing confirmation of a clean 4H/daily trend or range-edge structure; proximity and bullish CCV/CVD context alone are not an entry.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 06:00 UTC
PassedPass: although the closed 2026-07-13 05:00 UTC 30-minute candle rejected the developing weekly POC at $62,735.5, that POC is a mid-value level rather than a major HTF range edge, and the short would run directly into prior-week VAL support at $62,518. The broader read is also conflicted—CVD confirms down and funding is positive, but CCV retains a long bias while OI is declining—so the required quality HTF location and clean corroboration are missing.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 05:30 UTC
PassedPASS: the authoritative TRIGGER FACTS block is absent, so no specific CLOSED 30-minute candle can confirm a rejection/reclaim at the prior-week VAL ($62,518), prior-month POC ($62,700.5), or any with-trend continuation. Price action is also unavailable, preventing verification of established 4-hour/daily structure; despite nearby HTF levels and a long CCV bias, the required execution trigger and clear structural corroboration are missing.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 04:00 UTC
PassedThe 2026-07-13 03:00 UTC 30-minute candle did close below developing wVAL at $63,163, but that breakdown runs directly into the $62,700.5 previous-month POC, $62,696.5 daily naked POC, and $62,518 prior-week VAL support cluster, so a continuation short is forbidden at this location. No 30-minute reclaim/rejection trigger has closed from that support, while CCV remains long-biased and weakening OI makes the selloff less corroborated; the required clean trigger and aligned confluence are missing.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 03:30 UTC
PassedThe 2026-07-13 02:30 UTC 30-minute candle did close below the developing wPOC at $63,335.5, but that mid-range developing POC is not a clean higher-timeframe range edge, and a short would run directly into the monthly POC/daily naked-POC support cluster at $62,787.5–$62,696.5. Corroboration is also conflicted—CVD confirms down while CCV has a long bias—and the 4H/daily tape is ranging rather than an established downtrend, so the required quality level and directional alignment are missing.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 03:00 UTC
PassedThe 02:00 UTC 30-minute candle did reclaim the developing weekly POC at $63,335.5, but that moving mid-range POC is not a sufficiently strong pre-existing HTF swing/range-edge level for a swing entry. Corroboration is also conflicted: CCV has a long bias, while CVD confirms down, price remains below daily VWAP, and OI is weakening, so the required quality level and aligned broader signals are missing.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 02:30 UTC
PassedPass: the 2026-07-13 01:30 UTC 30-minute candle did close back below the developing weekly POC at $63,649.5, but that POC is a mid-range/developing value level rather than a qualifying weekly range edge or major settled HTF reaction level. The 4H/daily tape is range-bound rather than an established downtrend, and a short is contradicted by the long CCV bias, so the required HTF location and directional corroboration are missing.View thesis →
Jul 13, 2026, 02:00 UTC
PassedA valid 30-minute sweep-reclaim did print at the prior-day low $63,566: the 2026-07-13 00:30 candle wicked to $63,488 and closed back above at $64,013.1. However, broader corroboration is conflicting rather than clean—the latest closed 01:00 candle lost the developing weekly POC at $63,654.5, CVD confirms down, funding is positive, and OI is flat—so the CCV long bias alone is insufficient for a swing entry.View thesis →
