Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 5-minute close above the developing POC ($62,799.5), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (2026-08-16 23:45, O 62,794.0 H 62,832.5 L 62,788.1 C 62,794.3) is a doji that closed essentially AT the day open/dPOC, not through or in rejection of any level. The day is only five minutes old: dPOC, dVAH, dVAL, VWAP and the day/week/month opens are all clustered within $40 of price with negligible volume (3.8 BTC), so there is no meaningful level interaction, no trend to join, and no R:R worth stating. No trigger = pass.
