Passed — no trade

The 17:45 15m candle closed back below pdVAL/pdPOC/D-Open, but that is a rejection inside a broader up-day: the day has been grinding higher off $80,062 with higher lows, CVD is confirming_up, funding is mildly positive and price is above daily VWAP ($80,522) — so a short here is a counter-bias fade directly into the developing structure, with no confirmed lower-low/lower-high structure change. Broader signals contradict the trigger's direction, so corroboration (condition c) is missing; no clean long trigger exists either, since price sits mid-range between VWAP and pdEQ with no retest of a level.
