PassedThe gate fired on a 1m reclaim of the developing day low ($63,107.7), but the only reclaim close is a 1-minute candle — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (01:00 UTC) closed DOWN at $63,120.0 making the fresh session low, i.e. no 15m reclaim/rejection trigger has printed at the level. The developing day low is also a fresh extreme rather than a pre-existing, stop-rich prior swing, and the flow contradicts a long here (CVD confirming_down, 5m delta flat/negative, OI in a 4h downtrend into the level, Fear & Greed 28) — a poor reaction into the level. No trigger, so this is a watch, not a trade.View thesis →

PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute close below the developing VAL ($63,228) — but a 5m close is never a valid trigger, and the last CLOSED 15m candle (00:45 UTC, O $63,228.7 H $63,251.5 L $63,170.1 C $63,220.1) is a tiny doji straddling the level, not a decisive close through or rejection of it. On top of that, this same dev_val level was already attempted within the last 30 minutes, so a fresh 15m trigger is required and none has printed. Flow is also non-committal (5m delta flat -1.9 BTC, thin overnight volume), so there is no corroborated reaction at the level — pass.View thesis →

PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute reclaim of pdEQ ($63,206.9), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (00:45 UTC, O $63,228.7 H $63,251.5 L $63,170.1 C $63,220.1) is a tiny doji sitting on the level, not a rejection or reclaim close through it. On top of that, this same pd_eq level already fired within the last 30 minutes, so I'd need a fresh 15m trigger anyway. Flow is also non-committal: Delta 5m flat (-1.2 BTC), 4h CVD confirming down, price pinned between VWAP $63,319 and dVAL $63,236 — a poor, low-volume reaction. No trigger, so no trade.View thesis →
Aug 03, 2026, 01:05 UTC
PassedThe fired location is the developing dVAL ($63,250) but the "trigger" is a 1.6 BTC 15m candle that merely drifted a dollar above it and closed $30 below — a nothing rejection, not a level reaction, with flat 5m delta (-0.6 BTC/30m) and no volume or OI response into it. Price is also sitting squarely between pdEQ $63,206.9, dVAL $63,250, VWAP $63,321.9 and dPOC $63,340.5 — mid-value chop, a no-trade zone with no room to either side — and the 1m/5m tape is sideways, so there is no established trend for a continuation entry either. Missing element: a genuine confirming trigger with corroborating flow.View thesis →

PassedThe only thing that fired is a 1-minute wick-and-close at pdEQ ($63,206.9) — a 1m close is never a valid trigger on this book. The named 15m candle (00:30 close, $63,228.5 up) closed at $63,107.7 low / mid-body and does not constitute a rejection close at pdEQ nor a with-trend close, so the confirming trigger is missing. Flow also contradicts a long here: CVD confirming_down, 5m delta -7.2 BTC, OI falling into the level, price below daily VWAP ($63,325) and below the day open — a poor, low-volume reaction. Watch for a 15m reclaim close above VWAP/dPOC or a proper sweep-reclaim of pdVAL/dLow instead.View thesis →
Aug 03, 2026, 00:45 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on pdEQ ($63,206.9) but the reclaim is only a 5m close (00:30 UTC); the last CLOSED 15m candle (00:15 UTC) closed DOWN at $63,160.7 — below pdEQ — so no 15-minute trigger exists, and the current 15m is still forming. Without a 15m close reclaiming pdEQ this is a watch, not an entry, and the 4h CVD is confirming_down against a long while price sits mid-range between dVAL $63,282 / VWAP $63,326 above and dLow $63,107 below.View thesis →
Aug 03, 2026, 00:35 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5m reclaim of pdH ($63,047.4), but the named trigger must be a 15-minute close: the last CLOSED 15m candle (08:45 UTC) closed DOWN at $63,095.2 with the 09:00 candle still FORMING — no 15m close through or rejecting the level yet. Structure is also mixed: price has rolled over from the dVAH/day high $63,539.7 back below dVAL $63,182 and daily VWAP $63,243, CVD is confirming_down and 5m delta is flat, so a long reclaim here has no flow corroboration. This is a watch for a 15m close back above pdH/VWAP, not a trade.View thesis →
Aug 02, 2026, 09:10 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute close below pdVAH/pdH ($63,047), but the method requires a 15-minute close as the named trigger — the last CLOSED 15m (08:45, C $63,095.2) is still above the level and the current 15m is FORMING, so no valid trigger has printed. Price is also mid-range between dVAL/VWAP ($63,242–63,253) above and D-Open/pdVAH cluster below, with flat OI and only mildly negative delta — a weak, low-volume drift rather than a confirmed break of a level. Watch for a 15m close below $63,047 and a backtest of it before shorting.View thesis →
Aug 02, 2026, 09:05 UTC
PassedThe 08:30 15m candle did close through the developing VAL ($63,254) and daily VWAP ($63,256.8), but a close THROUGH a level is confirmation, not an entry — the method requires entering on the backtest of that lost level, and price ($63,130.8) is at the extension low, not the retest. Entering here would be chasing the break candle's extreme. Additionally the downside structure is thin: pdVAH/pdH ($63,047) and the M-Open ($62,792)/dLow ($62,719) sit just below, so the honest T2 gives poor room while the stop must sit above $63,400. Watch for a pullback into $63,254–63,300 to short the flip.View thesis →
Aug 02, 2026, 08:45 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5m close below the developing VAL ($63,254) — but a 5m close is never the named trigger, and the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (08:15, C $63,295.1) closed ABOVE both dVAL and VWAP, so no 15m trigger through the level has printed; the 08:30 15m candle is still forming. Price is also sitting right on daily VWAP ($63,258) / pdVAH ($63,047) support cluster after an impulsive overnight rally, so this is a fade into a level, not open space — I would need a confirmed 15m close below dVAL/VWAP and then a backtest of it, which does not exist yet.View thesis →
Aug 02, 2026, 08:40 UTC
PassedThe fired trigger is a 15m wick-and-close at the developing POC ($63,394.5) — but the dPOC is fair value in the dead centre of the day's value area (dVAL 63,258 / dVAH 63,463), i.e. exactly the mid-range, no-new-trade location the method forbids. The "sweep" is a $0.40 wick on 7 BTC of volume with flat 5m delta (+2.9 BTC) and flat open interest — a poor, non-existent reaction, not a stop-rich swept level. Price is also compressed in a 50-dollar range for the last hour with no trend to join, so no level-reaction, continuation or sweep-reclaim entry qualifies.View thesis →
Aug 02, 2026, 08:15 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on the developing day high ($63,539.7), but that is a fresh intraday extreme made minutes ago on a strong up-leg, not a pre-existing, stop-rich level — an SFP/failed-auction needs an obvious level defined BEFORE the move, and there is none there. The 05:00 15m candle merely tagged its own high and closed 150 lower; that is a wick-and-fade in an uptrending session (day open $62,726, price above VWAP $63,224, OI +0.42% healthy uptrend, CVD confirming up, 5m delta flat), so a short here would be fading momentum into no level with signals contradicting it. No valid trigger at a tradeable level in the direction the flow supports — pass and wait for either a real rejection at D-nPOC↑ $63,597.5 / pmPOC $63,910.5 or a pullback-retest long at dPOC/VWAP.View thesis →
Aug 02, 2026, 05:15 UTC
PassedThe fired level is the developing dVAH ($63,468) and the 04:45 15m candle did close through it — but a close THROUGH a level is confirmation, not an entry: the method requires entering on the backtest, and price at $63,488.6 is still at/above the breakout extreme, not the retest. On top of that the break is thin and unconvincing (21.5 BTC on the trigger, 5m delta flat at +2.8 BTC over 30 minutes, OI essentially flat on the 24h backdrop) — a poor reaction into the level, and immediately overhead sits the D naked POC at $63,597.5 capping upside. Awaiting a pullback into the $63,425–63,468 dPOC/dVAH band with delta confirming before this becomes a trade.View thesis →
Aug 02, 2026, 05:00 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5m wick-and-close at the developing POC ($63,425.5), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (04:30 UTC, O $63,447.0 C $63,427.3) closed down and merely stalled at the dPOC/dHigh, it neither closed through nor rejected a level. Location is also poor: price is pinned right at the developing POC and within a few dollars of the developing day high/VAH, which is fair-value chop and the method's explicit no-trade zone. Flow corroborates nothing — 5m delta is flat (+0.3 BTC over 30m) and volume into the level is negligible, a poor reaction. No trigger, so no trade.View thesis →
Aug 02, 2026, 04:45 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on the developing day high ($63,467.1), but that is a fresh extreme price is grinding into, not a swept pre-existing level with a confirming 15m reclaim — the last CLOSED 15m candle (04:15) closed UP at $63,447.0 with its high AT the day high, i.e. price is pinned at the extreme, no rejection close and no with-trend pullback/retest. Shorting here would be fading momentum into a level on 5m/1m noise, and longing would be chasing the extension into the D-nPOC↑ $63,597.5. No trigger = pass; also the 5m bearish delta divergence alone is confirmation, never a trigger.View thesis →
Aug 02, 2026, 04:30 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 1-minute close back below the developing VAH ($63,455) — but a 1m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (04:00 UTC, O $63,364.5 H $63,460.0 L $63,364.5 C $63,441.5) closed UP at the highs of the session, i.e. no 15m rejection close at the dVAH and no 15m close through it. So condition (b), a confirming 15-minute trigger, is missing; price is simply pressing the developing day high on a rising 4H candle with CVD confirming up, which contradicts a fade here anyway. This is a watch for either a 15m rejection wick-and-close-back under $63,455 or an accepted backtest of it as support.View thesis →
Aug 02, 2026, 04:15 UTC
PassedThe fired trigger is a marginal one: the 03:15 15m candle poked $63,458.7 versus dVAH $63,455.0 — a $4 wick — and dVAH here is simply the top edge of a still-developing profile that is being dragged up by the current impulse, not a pre-existing stop-rich level, so there is no genuine swept level to fade. Momentum, CVD (confirming_up) and 4h OI (+0.26%) are all with the buyers off the D-open/pdVAL reclaim, so a short here would be fading momentum into strength, while a long at the developing high is exactly the chased entry the method forbids. No clean level-reaction in my direction, so I pass and wait for either a pullback into VWAP $63,161 / dPOC $63,274.5 with a with-trend close, or a real rejection at the D-nPOC $63,597.5 above.View thesis →
Aug 02, 2026, 03:30 UTC
PassedNo confirming trigger. Price spiked from 62,865 to 63,454 on the 02:00 candle and has since gone flat, chopping 63,240–63,383 — the last three 15m closes (02:30 down, 02:45 up, 03:00 down) are inside-bar noise, none of them a close through or a rejection at a named level. Price sits right on dPOC 63,274.5 / just above VWAP 63,143.5 — the middle of the developing profile, an explicit no-trade zone — with pdVAH 63,047 already flipped and dVAH/dHigh 63,451–63,454 untested since the spike. Delta 5m is flat (-20.5 BTC) with tiny volume, so there is no order-flow response to trade off either; a fresh 15m close rejecting dVAH/D-nPOC↑ 63,597.5 or backtesting pdVAH 63,047 would be the setup to wait for.View thesis →
Aug 02, 2026, 03:15 UTC
PassedThe only trigger is a 15m wick-and-reclaim of the developing day POC ($63,274.5) — a mid-range, fair-value location the method explicitly says not to open new positions at, and the dPOC is not a "pre-existing obvious level" whose stops are clustered, so it does not qualify as a sweep-reclaim. Price is also sitting right under the developing day high/dVAH ($63,451/$63,454) after a vertical 02:00 candle, so a long here is buying into resistance rather than at a level, and the 5m delta is flat (-10.5 BTC) with no delta response confirming the reclaim — a poor reaction. No clean level-reaction, and the trend read is choppy (pdH reclaimed only hours ago after a down day), so I pass.View thesis →
