AI Analysis
HTF bias is Bearish confirmed by H4 and H1 lower highs/lows and recent BOS down. Daily context shows a bearish day with price in the lower third of the range, which is discount zone for longs but premium for shorts. However, 15m structure is mixed with no clear impulsive leg confirming continuation. Price is near daily low but no strong liquidity sweep or reclaim pattern to support a strict short entry now. Timing is London session, suitable for expansions but risk zones and structure do not fully align for STRICT. Therefore, STRICT lane is NO-TRADE.
