Passed — no trade

The gate fired on dev-week POC ($64,114.5) with a 30m candle that closed $41 below it — but this is not a clean, tradeable trigger. First, I'm at 2 consecutive losses on this book, so I owe a STRICTER-than-usual read. Second, the "trigger" is a tiny-range, low-volume 30m close (26 BTC) drifting $41 below the POC — that is proximity/noise, not a decisive close through an HTF level, and the POC is sandwiched between clustered week/month/day POCs ($63,916–$64,637) that make this the middle of value, a poor location by method. Third, the directional read is muddled: CVD is confirming_up (+206 BTC), OI is short-covering (weakening downtrend), funding is flat-positive, and price sits right at daily/weekly POC — no corroborated bearish edge to justify a continuation short here, and no swept-and-reclaimed defined level for a reversal. No qualifying trigger with corroboration at a strong level; pass.
