Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 5m wick-and-close-back at the developing dPOC ($79,706.5), but a 5m close is never a valid named trigger on this book — the only recent 15m close (12:30 UTC) closed UP at $79,699.6 having pushed into the dPOC/dVAH shelf, so there is no 15m rejection or reclaim close at the level. Beyond that, the location is mid-value chop: price is pinned between dVAL $79,578 / VWAP $79,624 / D-Open $79,635 and dPOC $79,706 / dVAH $79,715 in a ~340 dollar day range, which the method treats as a no-trade zone, and the signals (CVD confirming up, 5m delta +191.7 BTC, rising OI, slightly negative funding) contradict a short here anyway. No trigger, poor location, conflicting corroboration — pass.
