Structure: the 21:00 UTC 15m candle swept BELOW pwVAH $85,751.0 (low $85,728.5) and CLOSED decisively back ABOVE it at $85,963.0 — a reclaim/flip of a Tier-1 settled previous-week value-area high, which price had broken above on this 20:30 impulse; that reclaim close is the named 15m trigger (corroborated by the 21:10 5m close back above and the whole 1m window holding $85,7xx as support). Corroboration: CVD confirming_up (+169 BTC), Delta 5m confirming_up, funding benign at +0.0009% (no crowded longs), value migrating higher day over day (dPOC/dVAH above pdVAH, day open above pwPOC), Fear & Greed 65 — bias is with longs; the 4h "short_covering" OI decline weakens but does not invalidate a continuation through the developing day high. Entry here is the retest zone of the reclaimed pwVAH side and is NOT beyond the trigger extreme ($86,010.3 dHigh remains untouched on a close). Stop $85,600 sits ~0.2% below the sweep wick / reclaimed pwVAH — a close back under it kills the flip. T1 = D-nPOC above at $86,167.5 (first magnet level and nearest structure), T2 = $86,839.5, the 2 Oct 4h swing high and the major shelf under the month high, T3 = $87,207.4 the developing week/month high. R:R to T2 = (86,839.5-85,943.8)/(85,943.8-85,600) = 895.7/343.8 ≈ 2.6:1, clearing the 2:1 floor.
