AI Analysis
HTF bias is Bearish confirmed by lower highs and lower lows on H4 and H1 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. 15m structure shows some mixed signals with no strong impulsive leg confirming immediate entry. Session is Asia, which favors continuation but not counter-trend reversals. Risk zone and daily position conflict with ideal STRICT short entry. Therefore, STRICT lane is NO-TRADE.
