Passed — no trade

The only trigger is a 17 BTC, tiny-range 30m candle wicking $59 below the developing month POC ($63,916.5) and closing $57 above it — that is noise inside a $63.2k–$64.6k chop, not a swept stop-rich HTF level, and the developing mPOC sits essentially on the daily VWAP in the dead middle of the week's value area (wVAL $63,304 / wVAH $64,433), i.e. a no-trade location by the value-area rules. Corroboration also conflicts: CVD confirming_down, OI falling, Fear at 28, weekly closed up but the 4H tape is sideways — no established trend for a continuation, and no quality reaction at an extreme. With two consecutive losses on this book I am held to a stricter bar, and this setup does not come close to it.
