AI Analysis
HTF bias is Bearish confirmed by H4 and H1 lower highs/lows and recent BOS down. Daily context shows price in lower_third of a bearish day, which is discount zone for longs but premium for shorts. 15m structure shows some bullish retracement but no clean BOS down on 15m yet. Risk zone and daily position conflict for STRICT shorts (price near daily low). Timing is NY session, suitable for continuation but no clean entry zone aligning all conditions. Therefore STRICT lane is NO-TRADE.
