Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a tiny 30m rejection of pmVAH ($77,682) — but that "sweep" is a $12 wick on a 35 BTC candle in the middle of the developing day's value (dPOC $77,648, dVAL $77,588), not a stop-rich rejection at an obvious HTF extreme; price is sitting mid-range between wVAL $77,255 and wVAH $78,468 with no clean HTF trend to join. Corroboration is also mixed: CVD confirming down and a pullback from yesterday's $79,557 high favour lower, but 24h OI is short-covering (-4.19%), funding is only mildly positive and Fear & Greed 69 (Greed) with the week building value above the prior week's POC — not a clean short read. No quality trigger + no quality location = pass; a short would only interest me on a 30m close back below wVAL/mPOC ~$77,255 or on a genuine failed auction of the weekly high.
