Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a marginal 30m close below pwVAL ($63,723.0) — but that "trigger" is a 23 BTC doji-ish candle closing $21 below the level while price chops within a $60 band around daily VWAP ($63,674.5) and the developing day POC ($63,640.5); that is noise, not a rejection, and it is precisely the middle of the range rather than a level reaction. Corroboration is also missing/conflicting: 4H closed up, CVD is confirming_up, funding is mildly positive, OI is a healthy 4h uptrend, and the last weekly candle closed up — none of which support a fresh short, while the 4H/daily tape is sideways so no with-trend continuation qualifies either. With three straight losses on this book, the stricter bar applies and this does not come close.
