Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on a 5-minute wick-and-close-back at pwVAH $79,909, but a 5m close is never a valid named trigger — the last CLOSED 15m candle (06:00 UTC, O 79,948.4 / H 79,948.4 / C 79,894.0) neither closed through nor rejected the level with a wick above it, so there is no confirming 15-minute trigger. Structure is also flat/balanced: price is pinned between dPOC $79,869.5, VWAP $79,887.7 and dVAH $79,938.0 in a $79,760–$80,082 chop with near-zero volume, 5m delta flat (+2.6 BTC) and OI flat — a poor reaction with no delta response is itself a reason to stand aside. No trend to join and no clean level reaction: pass.
