AI Analysis
HTF bias is Bearish confirmed by H4 and H1 lower highs and lower lows with recent BOS down. Daily context shows price in lower_third but daily_close < daily_open indicating bearish day. M15 structure confirms bearish with LH/LL and BOS down. However, price is near lower_third of daily range, close to daily low, risking buying near daily low for shorts. Timing is NY session, suitable for continuation but risk zone and daily position advise caution. Strict lane requires perfect alignment which is not met due to risk zone and daily position near low. Hence NO-TRADE for STRICT.
