Long thesis

Structure: level-reaction long at the confluence of daily VWAP ($63,567.1, tier-2 session fair value) sitting just under the settled pdPOC ($63,658.5) — price has been rotating above both since the 01:30 impulse off the developing dLow/dVAL ($63,241). Trigger: the CLOSED 15m 03:15 UTC candle wicked BELOW VWAP (low $63,560.8) and closed back above it AND above pdPOC at $63,684.7 — a rejection-at-level shape, so entry is at that close with the wick defining invalidation; the 03:25 5m close up corroborates. Corroboration: OI +0.60% on the 4h in a healthy uptrend with neutral funding (+0.010%), 5m delta flat rather than selling into the reclaim, and value migrating up (dPOC $63,340 with price above dVAH $63,731 region) — Fear & Greed extreme fear plus the 4h CVD bearish divergence is the one caution, which is why T1 is sizeable. Stop $63,420 gives ~0.2% room below the sweep wick and beneath the W-Open/D-Open shelf ($63,440–63,461) — losing those kills the reclaim. T1 = developing day high $63,886.0 (nearest structure), T2 = pdH $63,993.8, which is also the developing week high; risk $264.7 vs reward to T2 $309.1 ≈ 1.17:1 — below 2:1, but this is the failed-auction/SFP reclaim at a key level, the setup the material states has a 62% reaction rate from the wick low, above the 60% floor, so it qualifies. Because T1 is the day high and price may well range there, a large 0.35 piece is banked; stop stays at original invalidation.
