Passed — no trade

Price is mid-flush: the 14:00 15m candle closed down $580 at the low end of its range, driving straight through pmPOC ($62,700.5) with no reclaim close — the gate's signal is only a 5m wick/close, which can never be the named trigger. Shorting here means fading momentum into pmPOC/mVAL ($62,396) and the fresh day low, which the method forbids, and no 15m reclaim close back above pmPOC has printed to justify the long side. Missing element: a confirming 15-minute trigger candle (reclaim or rejection) at the level.
