Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 5m wick-and-close-back at the developing POC ($78,913.5), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (21:15 UTC, O $78,959.3 H $78,982.5 L $78,795.1 C $78,858.8) is a tiny inside-range doji with 6.5 BTC volume, not a rejection or a break of anything. Price is chopping in a $150 band right on the dPOC (fair value, the mid-range the method explicitly says not to trade), volume has collapsed, and the signals conflict: 4h CVD confirming up and OI building healthily versus a short CCV bias and slightly negative 5m delta. This same dev_poc level already fired within the last 30 minutes; with no fresh 15m trigger, no clean level location, and no coherent directional read, this is POC chop — a pass.
