Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on a 5-minute wick above the daily open ($81,232.9) that closed below it — but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the named 15m candle (04:15, closed up at $81,221.0) is a thrust INTO the open, not a rejection close back below it after a sweep; the current 15m is still FORMING. Structurally price is also mid-range between dVAH $81,072 / dHigh $81,392 with a rising 1m/5m impulse against the CCV short bias, so the only confirming close I would need — a 15m close back below the daily open with the wick above it — has not printed. No trigger, no trade.</parameter> <parameter name="awaiting_retest">{"level_value": 81232.9, "level_name": "D-Open", "direction": "short"}
