Passed — no trade

The pattern technically qualifies, but the rejection behind it is too weak to take. The swept level is the pdVAH ($80,229), which is untiered and not one of the obvious extremes most traders watch. Price already traded through it earlier today: the 12:45 candle reached $80,344.7 (today's high) and the 13:00 candle reached $80,249.3. So this is a second poke at a level that has already been worn through, not a fresh sweep of liquidity. The candle itself closed green ($80,141.9 to $80,202.9), at about 70% of its range and only $26 under the level. That is not a rejection; price is still sitting at the level. Volume was very low (8.4 BTC on the 15m, and the 14:56 1m wick took 3.7 BTC), so few stops were taken. Delta 5m is flat (+2.48 BTC), showing no selling or absorption at the level. The wider order flow leans the other way: CVD is confirming up (+49.4 BTC) and the 4h open interest shows short covering, so shorts are being squeezed. Price has climbed from $79,723 to $80,203 this hour, back into the settled value area, with today's high at $80,344.7 just above as the obvious pull. The R:R to T2 is 2.02:1, barely over the floor, and the stop sits close to the $80,344.7 and $80,448.5 (pwPOC) liquidity above. I'd rather wait for a sweep of today's high or the pwPOC with a real close back below and sellers stepping in.
