Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on a 5m close above the Month Open $78,511.5, but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (13:15 UTC, O 78,477.9 H 78,538.2 L 78,368.0 C 78,421.8) closed DOWN and BELOW the M-Open, so there is no confirming 15-minute close through or rejecting the level. Price is also sitting near the day high $78,711 after a vertical +$800 run off dVAH, so buying here would be chasing the extension rather than entering a retest, and the level-reaction entry at the spiked high is exactly the trade the method forbids. Flat 5m delta (+9.3 BTC) and short-covering open interest (-1.89% 4h) mean the push up is not backed by new longs — poor reaction quality.
