Long thesis

Structure: a sweep-reclaim (SFP) of the developing day low / dVAL $76,830.0 — an obvious, pre-existing level (it is also the developing week low and sat right under the pdEQ $76,769 shelf), the exact kind of stop-rich boundary the method wants. Trigger: the CLOSED 15m candle at 2026-08-24 02:00 UTC — it wicked to $76,830.5, took the day-low stops, and closed back at $77,321.7, i.e. back above dVAL, dPOC $76,866, daily VWAP $77,174, pdVAH $77,182 and dVAH $77,249 in a single reclaim close; the 02:10 5m close through dVAH and the 02:14 1m close corroborate the timing. Corroboration: Delta 5m is confirming_up (+15.8 BTC) into the reclaim while price refused a new low, funding is benign at +0.010%, sentiment is Greed (73) and the daily/4H structure is one-time-framing up off the 75,510 low, so this reclaim is with the higher-timeframe trend even though the CCV bias reads short — the swept level and the reclaim close override that. Entry is the reclaim close itself (the wick defines risk); stop $76,740 sits ~0.2% beyond the $76,830.5 sweep wick and below the pdEQ shelf, so a close back there kills the thesis. T1 is the day/week open $77,685.3 (nearest real structure and the session pivot), T2 is the previous-day high $78,028.0 — Tier-1 and the main objective — giving R:R of 706/582 ≈ 1.21:1... which fails the 2:1 floor to T2, so I lean on the sweep-reclaim/SFP-at-a-defined-level with immediate first profit and take a larger 25% at T1 for that lower-confidence, ratio-thin reason; T3 extends to $78,785.6, the 22 Aug swing high, with the runner riding toward pwVAH.
