$NEAR BEARISH BIAS: THE FLOOR BROKE. DON'T SHORT THE REBOUND LOWS.
Three bearish clues:
• H1 closed at $4.773 below the $4.812 swing low, confirming bearish CHoCH.
• The next sell candle closed at $4.641 on 15.32M NEAR volume—2.70× its preceding 20-hour average.
• Confirmed highs fell from $5.064 to $4.991 to $4.737. The bearish $4.785–$4.793 imbalance remains open.
Wyckoff: potential failed recovery/developing markdown, not confirmed distribution. No stable recent H1 trading range or complete event sequence is established. An earlier sell-side sweep failed to prevent the subsequent breakdown.
SMC favors sellers. Fresh supply sits at $4.812–$4.936; $4.991 is the high preceding the bearish break. Buyers have formed a higher reaction low at $4.621, but have not reclaimed the broken structure. Latest volume is only 0.40× its preceding average.
ONE CONDITIONAL SHORT MAP
Trigger: H1 close below $4.812—confirmed.
Entry: $4.812–$4.936 only after a fresh bounce into supply and a failed retest, with H1 closing back below $4.812.
SL: $5.010, above the $4.991 structural high.
TP1: $4.589, recent low/liquidity | 2.10R.
TP2: $4.543, earlier sell-side liquidity/demand edge | 2.43R.
R uses entry midpoint $4.874, before fees/slippage.
BEARISH BIAS — NO ENTRY YET.
Price is below entry; no valid supply retest has occurred. Don't short into the recent lows or chase displacement. Wait for rejection.
Thesis invalidation: an H1 close above $5.010 invalidates this bearish map.

Will the next bounce expose sellers at the broken floor—or leave this setup unfilled?
