Structure: sweep-reclaim (SFP) of the developing value-area low ($82,740) which also took out the developing day low ($82,463.4) — an obvious, stop-rich pre-existing level built through the morning session. Trigger: the 14:45 UTC 15m candle wicked to $82,463.4 below dVAL and CLOSED back above it at $82,934.3 (machine-confirmed reclaim close); the 14:55 5m and 14:59 1m closes corroborate the hold above the level, so entry is at the reclaim close, not the flush. Corroboration: 4h CVD confirming_up, funding only mildly positive (+0.0057%, normal), OI falling into the low (short-covering/stops flushed) and sentiment still Greed at 74 — the 5m delta is negative while price refuses to make a lower low, i.e. aggressive selling not confirming the new extreme at the level, which supports the reversal read; CCV is not in play so nothing contradicts. Stop $82,290 sits ~0.2% below the sweep wick at $82,463.4, giving the poke-and-reverse buffer the method demands. T1 is the nearest structure: dPOC $83,420.5 (just above daily VWAP $83,200) — I bank 20% there as the reclaim may only be a bounce. T2 is the main objective, the day/week open $84,404.0 (also just above pwPOC $84,396.5), a major reference; T3 extends to the developing day high $84,934.9. R:R to T2 = ($84,404.0 − $82,981.9) / ($82,981.9 − $82,290.0) = 1,422 / 692 ≈ 2.06:1, clearing the 2:1 floor.
