Passe — pas de trade

The 18:00 15m candle is a violent two-sided bar — it wicked to the day low $75,178.8, spiked to $76,457 (above dVAH and the day high) and closed back at $75,698, i.e. below VWAP and only $7 above dPOC. That is a whipsaw/no-man's-land close at the POC, which the method treats as a 50/50 no-trade zone, not a trigger: the same candle rejected both the dVAH/dHigh above and the dVAL/dLow below, so there is no clean directional read. Corroboration also conflicts — 4h CVD confirming_up against a bearish 5m delta divergence (-17.7 BTC) and flat/quiet OI — so neither a level-reaction nor a with-trend continuation qualifies.
