Passed — no trade

The gate fired on the developing-day VAH ($64,224.0), but this is not a clean, high-quality setup. The developing dVAH sits essentially on top of the developing day high ($64,224.2) — it is a fresh intraday extreme, not a settled prior-period level with stops obviously clustered beyond it, so it is a weak location for a reversal. More importantly, there is no confirming trigger corroborating a short: broader signals conflict — CVD shows a bullish divergence, Delta 5m is confirming_up (+56.5), and the whole 1m/5m/15m tape is grinding higher into the level (a series of higher closes), meaning momentum is UP into the VAH, not rejecting it. The single 5m wick-and-close-below is a marginal probe against an aligned-up flow, not a stop-rich failed auction; fading this rising momentum into a developing edge with flow against me is exactly the forbidden trade. No clean, corroborated trigger — pass.
