Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a tiny 5m/15m wick-and-close-below the developing POC ($75,691.5) — a mid-range, fair-value location the method says not to open new positions at, and the same dev_poc was already attempted within the last 30 minutes with no fresh trigger since. Price is chopping in a $75,320–$76,210 balance with the day open, dVAL and VWAP all within ~$200 of each other: no established trend for a continuation short, no swept significant prior high to reclaim, and the reaction quality is poor (sub-10 BTC 15m volume, OI weakening/falling, neutral funding). Nearest downside objective (dLow $75,245) is far too close to VWAP-level entry for an honest 2:1 — no clean short exists.
