Passed — no trade

The 15m candle that just closed (01:15 UTC) is a doji-ish inside bar of minimal volume (0.6 BTC) that both wicked above VWAP/D-Open/pdPOC and wicked below dVAL, closing right in between — that is chop, not a directional trigger at any level. Price is pinned in the middle of a $76,622–$76,815 no-man's-land between dVAL $76,674 and VWAP $76,734.7 / pdPOC $76,731.5, the classic POC-chop zone the method forbids trading. Corroboration is also mixed: CVD shows bullish divergence and funding is slightly negative (against the short the pdPOC loss implies), while 5m delta is flat — a poor reaction with no aggressive flow, which is itself a sufficient reason to pass.
