Passe — pas de trade

No real stop run happened here, so there is nothing to fade. The wick went $27 under the session VWAP, a tier-2 midpoint level, not one of the obvious highs or lows most traders watch. It did not reach the stronger levels in its zone: pwVAL at $80,669 and dVAL at $80,572 were never touched. The whole 15m candle traded 1.4 BTC, and the 5m bar that made the low traded 0.3 BTC. That is a drift through the level in a quiet Asian session, not stops getting taken. Order flow shows no absorption: Delta 5m is flat at -9.96 BTC net, and CVD is still confirming down (-127 BTC). The bigger picture leans bearish too. The day candle closed down from $84.2k, and price is still below the day open ($81,048) and the developing POC. The real liquidity event was the sweep and reclaim of pdL at $80,375 around 23:00, which has already played out. This VWAP poke is just chop between that low and the dVAH/open zone at $81.1k. The CCV long bias isn't enough to make up for a rejection with no participation. I'll wait for a sweep with real volume at an obvious level, like another test of pdL or a clean reclaim of value.
