What is the MOST important profile check before entering this trade?

1. Whether the current session's developing profile is taking on a balanced D-shape or instead a clearly one-sided, skewed distribution that would point toward an active, one-timeframing trend day.
2. Whether the weekly POC at 5,480 has actually been tested and held within any of the most recent three trading sessions, since a long-untested mean tends to act as a far weaker downside magnet for the fade.
3. Whether the session high happens to sit at or very close to a prior calendar year's significant high price reference level, which could independently attract responsive selling and confound the profile read.
4. Whether the current session has built two or more 30-minute TPO letters above 5,510, which would indicate accepted value above the weekly VAH — potentially invalidating the mean-reversion short thesis.
