Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on a 15m rejection of pdEQ/dPOC/VWAP ($77,920–77,958), but price is already back ABOVE that cluster (current $77,893.5, and the forming candles have pushed to $77,982) — the rejection has not held, so the short trigger is not corroborated by the follow-through and there is no valid entry at or below the level. Reaction quality is also poor: sub-10 BTC candles into the level, 5m delta is confirming_up (+30.6 BTC) against a short, OI is only drifting (-0.30%, 24h short-covering) with no trapped-trader signal, and Fear & Greed 69 / a strong up daily close argue against fading here. Price is pinned between dVAL $77,786 and dPOC $77,958 — the middle of a tight developing value area, the poor location the method says to avoid.
