Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a developing-month VAH "rejection" at $63,179 — but the 16:30 30m candle only exceeded it by $0.80 (high $63,179.8), which is noise, not a genuine sweep-and-reclaim of a stop-rich level, and the mVAH is a still-developing intra-month level less than 1% from price with the mPOC/mVAL stacked immediately below, so there is no room for a meaningful T2 with an honest stop above the day high. With two consecutive losses on this book I am required to apply a stricter bar, and this trigger fails it: no real level-reaction, no established HTF trend (4H is chopping sideways between $62.2k and $65.6k), and signals conflict (CVD confirming up, OI in a healthy 4h uptrend, price above daily VWAP) with a short. Pass.
