Passed — no trade

The fired level is the developing week POC ($79,052.5) and the 30m close through it (2026-09-08 00:00 UTC, close $78,960.2) is a mid-value, low-volume drift, not a reaction at a major HTF level — price is sitting between wVAL $78,852 and wPOC/wVAH with the daily VWAP $78,996 right on top, i.e. mid-range chop, exactly the location the method says to avoid trading. Corroboration also contradicts a short: CVD shows a bullish divergence, funding is only mildly positive, Fear & Greed at 69 Greed, and the higher timeframe (August monthly close up, last weekly close up off $76,178.9) is not in a confirmed downtrend, so there is no established trend to join and no clean swept level reclaimed. No qualifying trigger at a Tier-1 level — pass.
