Passe — pas de trade

This doesn't count as a real swing failure. Price got $25 above the developing VAL ($81,815) for one or two minutes on 4.1 BTC, the lowest volume of the session, and the 15-minute candle closed slightly up (O 81,757 → C 81,765.5). That is a drift, not a rejection. Nobody's stops were taken and no sellers stepped in. The level is also weak: a tier-2 developing VAL that moves during the day, not one of the obvious extremes most traders watch. And price was already trading below it after the selloff from 84,261, so the "sweep" only touches the edge of value from underneath. The location is the bigger problem. Just $214 below entry sits a heavy support cluster: today's low at 81,522.9, the previous week's POC at 81,579.5, the developing month POC at 81,527.5, and the developing week VAL at 81,715. Price bounced hard from there at 09:00. T1 is set right on that support, and to reach T2 the move has to break through it after a day that has already fallen about 2.9%. That leaves a short in late-selloff territory. The 4H and day-wide downtrend and the negative delta are real, but they belong to the move that has already happened, not to this level. Little reward is left before support, and the trigger itself is weak, so I'm passing. I'd look for a cleaner sweep of a tier-1 level (pwVAH, pdL with VWAP) or a clean break of the 81,520 support.
