Passed — no trade

The fired location is the developing month VAH ($63,379) — a still-forming, in-flight level, not a settled HTF level — and the 18:30 30m candle's wick above it with a close below is a marginal single-candle rejection inside a $62,185–$63,540 chop range, with the 4H/daily tape sideways rather than trending. Corroboration also conflicts: CVD is confirming up, price sits above the daily VWAP and the day POC, OI is flat, and the monthly is grinding back up off $62,185 — so a short here has no supporting bias. With two consecutive losses on this book I require a stricter bar, and a wick-rejection at a developing value-area edge in the middle of a range does not clear it.
