Passed — no trade

Two consecutive losses on this book means I need a stricter-than-usual read, and this does not clear it: the fired level (pmVAH $64,599) is being lost by a marginal 35-dollar close ($64,563.7) after the same candle opened right on it — that is noise inside the developing week's value area, not a decisive rejection or reclaim of a major HTF level, and price sits between wVAL $64,839 and mPOC $63,916 / pwPOC $64,114 support, so a fresh short here would be selling straight into stacked HTF support (forbidden fade). Nor is there an established HTF downtrend to join — the weekly closed up and July has been grinding higher off $57,647 — so no continuation trigger either.
