Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 5-minute close below dVAL ($77,587), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the last CLOSED 15m candle (12:00 UTC) closed UP at $77,557.1 with no confirming close through or rejection at the level, so there is no trigger. Tape is a dead-volume drift inside a $77,339–$77,910 balance with flat 5m delta (-3.1 BTC) and short-covering OI — a poor reaction, no trend to join. This level also already fired within the last 30 minutes, so I demand a fresh 15m close before considering it.
