Passed — no trade

The gate's trigger is a 15m wick of only ~$10 above pdVAH ($84,692.1 vs $84,682.0) closing back below — that is a micro-rejection on 5.1 BTC of volume, not a stop-rich sweep of an obvious level, and it is not even the day's high ($85,197.3 sits well above, where the real liquidity is). Reaction quality is poor: thin volume, OI falling (short covering, not trapped longs), funding flat, and the 15m/1h structure today is a sequence of higher highs and higher lows off $83,071.6, so a short here would be fading an intact intraday uptrend into a shallow pullback rather than trading a confirmed reversal. Corroboration and reaction quality are both missing, so I decline rather than wait.
