AI Analysis
HTF bias is Bearish confirmed by lower highs/lows and BOS down on H4/H1. Daily context is bearish with price in lower_third of daily range. However, 15m structure shows choppy price near daily low with no clear impulsive bearish leg or BOS down recently, and price is very close to daily low, risking buying into a strong support area. Asia session timing favors continuation but risk zone is near daily low, making STRICT entry unfavorable. Entry far from last M15 close, so no clean STRICT trade now.
