Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 1-minute reclaim of the developing POC ($76,699.5) — but a 1m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the last CLOSED 15m candle (15:00 UTC, O $76,979.3 H $77,096.4 L $76,658.6 C $76,733.4) is a down candle that simply sits astride the dPOC, not a rejection or a confirmed close through it. Price is also mid-range between dVAL $76,405 and dVWAP $76,909.6 / dVAH $77,256 — the POC is fair value and the method explicitly avoids new positions in POC chop (a 50-50 trade). Signals conflict too: 4h CVD up and OI building versus 5m taker delta confirming down into the level, so there is no corroborated read.
