Passed — no trade

The fired level is the developing month POC ($64,879.5) — a mid-value, in-the-middle-of-balance location, exactly the "POC chop" the method says not to trade, and the 23:00 30m close below it is a marginal 39-dollar break inside a 64.8k–65.4k balance, not a rejection of a settled HTF edge. There is also no corroboration for a short: price just spiked to the week/month high 65,444.9 and pulled back, CVD shows bullish divergence, OI is flat, and the developing week/month VAL sit far below — the read is two-sided. With two consecutive losses on this book the bar is stricter, and this does not clear it; I want a reaction at a real edge (wVAH/mVAH ~65,022–65,188 above, or pwPOC 64,338.5 / wVAL 63,723 below).
