Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on a 5m wick-and-reclaim of the developing POC ($77,477.5), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the last CLOSED 15m candle (20:00 UTC, O $77,507.7 H $77,559.5 L $77,402.9 C $77,512.5) is a tiny inside-range doji sitting directly ON the dPOC, not a rejection of or close through any level. Reaction quality is poor as well: flat 5m delta (-80.6 BTC), CVD confirming down, OI bleeding -4.67% on 4h into a level that price is simply balancing at, so there is no trapped-trader fuel for a long and no with-trend close for a short in open space. Price is mid-way between dVAL $76,987 / dLow $76,827 below and VWAP $78,896 above — the middle of the developing value area is exactly where the method says not to open new positions.
