Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 5m wick-and-close-back below dVAH/pdEQ, but a 5m close is never the trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (16:00 UTC, O 62,993.7 H 63,003.6 L 62,969.5 C 62,973.6) is a tiny 34-dollar inside body with no rejection wick and no structural break, so no 15m trigger exists. Reaction quality is also poor: 5m delta is flat (-1.9 BTC over 30m), OI is flat (-0.16%), and total volume into the level is negligible; price is pinned within a ~$100 intraday coil straddling VWAP 62,947.8, D-Open 62,939.2, dPOC 62,934.5 and pdEQ 62,989.1 — this is the middle of the range, the poor entry location the method tells me to avoid. No trend to join either: 15m/1h structure is sideways chop, not higher highs/higher lows or lower highs/lower lows.
