Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 5m wick-and-reclaim of pdEQ ($62,955.3), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (20:45 UTC, O 62,973.7 / H 62,973.7 / L 62,925.2 / C 62,961.4) is a down candle sitting on the level, not a rejection with a defined reclaim, and this same pdEQ level already fired within the last 30 minutes without follow-through. Reaction quality is also poor: price is pinned in a ~$60 coil between dPOC 62,970.5, dVAL 62,936.0 and pdPOC 62,934.5 with near-zero volume, VWAP 63,018.6 just overhead, CVD confirming down against a weak 5m bullish delta divergence, and OI drifting lower — mid-value chop, exactly the POC-chop location the method says to stand aside from.
