AI Analysis
HTF bias is Bearish confirmed by H4 and H1 lower highs and lower lows with recent BOS down. However, price is currently in the upper_third of the daily range on a bearish day, which is a premium zone for shorts and not ideal for STRICT shorts. Additionally, 15m structure shows recent impulsive down leg but price is near daily high, risking selling into resistance. Session is Asia, which favors continuation but counter-trend reversals are risky. Therefore, STRICT lane is NO-TRADE.
