Short thesis

Structure: settled pwVAH $81,893 sitting directly on pwH $81,894.7 — a Tier-1 stacked resistance, and the highest-confluence level overhead. Trigger: the 15-minute candle that closed 08:15 UTC (O 81,664.7 H 81,963.2 C 81,853.8) wicked above both $81,893 and $81,894.7 and CLOSED back below them — a rejection/SFP at the level, entered at the close because the wick high ($81,963.2) itself defines invalidation; the 08:10 5m close below pwVAH corroborates. Corroboration: CCV bias reads short_bias with acceptance armed, funding is positive (+0.010%) with 4h OI building +1.86% into the level — new longs being trapped at the weekly value-area high, while the 24h backdrop is short-covering, i.e. the rally up here is not fresh-demand driven. Stop $82,110 gives ~0.2% buffer past the sweep wick; T1 is daily VWAP $81,442.2 (nearest meaningful structure, and I take a larger 30% there as a named low-confidence reason: the day's short-term flow/Delta 5m is still confirming_up against me); T2 is dVAL $81,161 coinciding with the D/W open $81,130.3, the main objective; T3 is the developing day low $80,800.1. Risk:Reward entry→T2 ($690) against entry→stop ($259) is ~2.7:1, clearing the 2:1 floor.
