Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 5-minute close below pdPOC ($77,470.5), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (07:45 UTC, O $77,609.6 H $77,626.9 L $77,565.9 C $77,594.5) closed ABOVE pdPOC and above nothing structurally decisive, so there is no 15-minute close through or rejection at the level. Corroboration is also mixed against the short: CVD is confirming_up, 5m delta shows a bullish divergence (+5.3 BTC into a lower price), funding is slightly negative and the tape is a low-volume, narrow overnight balance between dVAL $77,595 and dLow $77,339 — a chop, not a trend, so no continuation entry either. No trigger, no clean direction: pass.
