Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on the developing day low ($77,576.9) with a 13:45 15m candle that wicked it and closed back above — but the swept "level" is a fresh intraday extreme made minutes earlier, not a pre-existing obvious level with clustered stops, so the sweep-reclaim precondition (a) fails. Corroboration also contradicts a long: CVD confirming_down, 5m taker delta -72.5 BTC confirming down, price below daily VWAP $78,555.7 and below both day open and month open, with open interest falling into the low (shorts covering, not trapped longs) — a poor reaction. The one settled level in play, pmVAH $77,682.0, sits inside the wick rather than being cleanly reclaimed with strength, so I want a fresh 15m close and hold back above it before considering the counter-trend long.
