Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on a 5-minute reclaim of the day open ($78,286.1), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (04:00 UTC, O $78,368.3 H $78,423.1 L $78,196.5 C $78,341.9) closed DOWN and entirely above/around the D-Open, so it is neither a close through nor a rejection at the level. Price is also mid-range chop between dVAL $78,240 / VWAP $78,329 and dPOC $78,632 — the no-trade middle of the developing profile — with 4h CVD showing bearish divergence and 5m delta confirming down against a rising price, while 4h OI reads short covering: the flow contradicts a long here and there is no established trend to join. No confirming 15m trigger, poor location, conflicting flow.
