Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on a 1m close through the developing POC ($77,753.5) — but a 1m close is never a valid trigger, and the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (11:00 UTC, O $77,669.2 H $77,764.4 L $77,639.3 C $77,756.2) is a tiny, near-zero-volume candle chopping around the dPOC, not a decisive close through it. Price is sitting mid-range between dVAL $77,401 / VWAP $77,543.7 below and dVAH $77,980 / dHigh $78,100 above — the classic POC chop / middle-of-range 50-50 location the method says not to trade — with 4h CVD confirming down against a modest +13.7 BTC 5m delta and OI in a 4h downtrend, so corroboration is mixed. No confirming 15m trigger at a tradeable level, so this is a watch, not a trade.
