Young-listing rounded/descending top with NO liquidity sweep — the gap between sweep-reversal (liquidity_hunt/supply_rejection, sweep-gated) and breakdown_short (waits for slow 1h breakout confirmation). Trigger: 15m bearish BOS while HTF zone is premium/equilibrium (rolling over from the top, never shorting a discount bottom), 1h structure NOT bullish (trap guard), and the coin underperforming BTC (idiosyncratic distribution, not market beta). EXHAUSTION GUARD: change_pct > -15 — enter the rollover (−5 to −12%), never chase the already-capitulated hole (the HANAUSDT 0.0299 @ −27% late-short failure). change_pct < 8 = must have rolled over, not still pumping. Pure price action / structure / volume — no RSI/ADX/MACD/Fibonacci. listing_age > 3 skips TGE chaos. Ranked by rel_strength_vs_btc asc — weakest vs BTC = strongest distribution = highest short conviction.
Rounded/lower-high distribution breakdown — NO sweep. A young listing topped on a single high, made LOWER highs (no equal-high liquidity grab, so sweep scanners are blind), and is rolling over in a multi-bar staircase. The 15m bearish BOS from a premium/equilibrium zone is the entry — waiting for a 1h breakout to confirm lags to the capitulation candle (the HANAUSDT 0.0299 @ −27% late-short). Pure structure + volume; indicator-free.
15m bearish BOS + HTF zone premium/equilibrium + rel_strength_vs_btc < 0 + change_pct in (−15, 8) + listing_age > 3. Ranked weakest-vs-BTC first.
