Passed — no trade

The fired location is the W 12-candle profile POC at $63,625 — the dead middle of a two-week $62,180–$64,163 balance, exactly the POC-chop area the method says not to trade, and the "trigger" is a 30m candle wicking $43 above it and closing $28 below: noise, not a rejection of a stop-rich level. Structure is also unclear (weekly closed down but price is back above monthly VAH with OI up 1.26% on the 24h backdrop and Extreme Fear sentiment), so direction is uncorroborated. With two consecutive losses on this book I need a stricter-than-usual setup — a genuine sweep-and-reclaim of wHigh/pwPOC $64,163–$64,338 above or wLow/pmVAL $62,180–$62,390 below — not mid-range chop.
