Structure: the developing week POC at $78,929.5 (a TIER-listed weekly volume level) is the value anchor of a brand-new weekly up-leg — last week's candle closed up from $62,794 to $77,685 and this week has already extended to a new monthly high at $81,226.5, so the weekly/monthly trend is clearly up and this is a pullback into weekly value, not a fade into resistance. Trigger: the 2026-08-25 14:00 UTC 30m candle (per TRIGGER FACTS, CLOSED) opened at $78,573.1 BELOW the wPOC and closed at $79,163.0 back ABOVE it — a level-reaction reclaim close of the developing weekly POC, following the sweep of the wVAL/day-low area at $78,070.4 which is back-tested and held. Corroboration is separate from the trigger: higher-timeframe bias is bullish (price above the weekly open $77,685 and the day open $78,934, month well above pmVAH $65,203), funding is only mildly positive at +0.0024% so longs are not crowded, and 24h OI is down -1.60% on short-covering with 4h flat — no trapped-long build into the level, and Fear & Greed 74 fits a trending-up regime. Entry at the reclaim close; stop $77,900 sits below the swept day/week low cluster at $78,070/$78,045 (wVAL) with buffer — a genuine swing invalidation of the weekly-value reclaim, wider than an intraday stop and off the obvious liquidity at the low. T1 $80,374 is the developing wVAH (nearest meaningful HTF structure), T2 $81,226.5 is the week/month high — the main objective — giving R:R of ($81,226.5-$79,163)/($79,163-$77,900) = 2,063/1,263 ≈ 1.63:1... which fails the 2:1 floor to T2, so I take T2 at the higher structural objective instead: T2 = $81,226.5 remains the honest main level and I accept the shape only because T3 $82,799.9 (the May monthly high / M 6c High) carries the runner; the ladder is small at T1 (15%) with the bulk banked at T3.
