AI Analysis
HTF bias is Bearish confirmed by lower highs and lower lows on H4 and H1 with recent BOS down. However, price is in the middle_third of the daily range on a bearish day, and 15m structure shows mixed signals with no clear impulsive leg in direction of trend. Risk zone is not ideal for strict shorts and session is Asia where counter-trend reversals are risky. Therefore, STRICT lane is NO-TRADE.
