Passe — pas de trade

The swept level is the developing day POC in the middle of a six-hour balance range ($81,185-$81,630). In a rotating day the POC pulls price back to it; it is not an obvious extreme with stops behind it. The wick went just $49.5 past it on 6.2 BTC of volume, and the 15m candle actually closed slightly UP (O 81,281.4, C 81,286.0), so the rejection is weak. Delta 5m is flat (+0.42 BTC, full coverage), so there is no absorption above the level, and CVD shows a bullish divergence. The entry sits right on the developing VAL ($81,258) and the 15m VAL (~$81,275), and the candle's low tested that support exactly, so this is selling into value-area support in a balanced range. The CCV is not in play, so there is no trend to lean on. The R:R works on paper, but the location and the order flow don't support a short. Wait for a sweep of a real extreme, such as the previous day's low / VWAP zone (~$81,570) or the day's low.
