Passe — pas de trade

The fired trigger is a 15m candle that touched pdPOC $77,337.5 by a fraction of a dollar and closed $28 below it — a micro-rejection inside a dead, ultra-low-volume range (whole 15m window spans just $77,153–$77,458, last candles under 1 BTC). That is not a stop-rich sweep or a real level reaction: no delta response (5m delta flat, +0.2 BTC), CVD is confirming_up and OI is in a healthy 4h uptrend, both of which contradict a short, and price is sitting right on VWAP/dPOC ($77,223–$77,244) in the middle of the developing value area — the exact POC-chop location the method says not to trade. Reaction quality and corroboration are both missing, so this is a pass rather than a wait.
