Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 1m/15m close marginally below the developing POC ($75,690.5) and VWAP ($75,741.0), but price is sitting inside the developing value area ($75,554–$75,947) with the dPOC essentially at price — the method's explicit no-trade zone (POC chop, 50/50). The "trigger" is a $6 close below dPOC with flat 5m delta (+1.8 BTC) and no reaction quality: no volume expansion, OI only drifting (-0.63%), and the last 15m candle actually closed UP. No tradeable level-reaction, no established trend on the 1m/5m (choppy $75.3k–$76.2k range), so a short here has no confirmed trigger or corroboration.
