Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 2-dollar wick below the developing wVAL ($63,281) with a close back above — that is not a swept, stop-rich level: the real liquidity was flushed earlier at $62,744 (wLow/day low), which price has already left behind, so this micro-wick is noise inside the 30m balance, not a failed auction of an obvious HTF level. Corroboration is also missing/contradictory: CVD confirming down, OI weakening, F&G at 29, price below the daily VWAP ($63,448) and below wPOC/mPOC, with the week's structure lower-high after $65,320 — nothing supports a long from mid-value here. Trading the middle of the developing week's value area (POC $63,545 / VAL $63,281) is exactly the POC-chop location the method says to skip; no valid trigger at a tradeable level.
