Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on a 5m wick-and-close-back below daily VWAP ($77,661.5) — but a 5m close is never a valid named trigger, and the 15m candle that closed (13:00 UTC) closed UP at $77,616.3, i.e. no 15-minute rejection or acceptance close at VWAP has printed. Price is also pinned in the middle of the developing value area (dVAL $77,579 / dPOC $77,775.5) on tiny volume — POC chop, a no-trade zone — with 4h CVD bearish-divergent but 5m delta confirming up, so the read is contradictory as well. No 15m trigger, poor location, mixed flow: pass.
