Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a rejection of the developing wVAL ($78,496) — but that is a minor in-flight level, not a strong HTF location, and the surrounding structure argues against a fresh short here: price is sitting just above the developing weekly low ($78,109.9), pmVAH ($77,682) and mVAL ($77,033) are stacked immediately below as HTF support, and the daily naked POC below sits at $77,753.5 — shorting into that cluster is fading momentum into support, which the method forbids. Corroboration also conflicts: CVD reads a bullish divergence and Fear & Greed is 69 (Greed), so the short is not corroborated; with T2 realistically only the $77,03x–$77,68x band against a stop above $78,865, R:R to T2 does not clear 2:1 either. No clean setup — location quality and corroboration are both missing.
