Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on a 5m wick-and-close-back under dVAH $75,948, but this same dev_vah level was already attempted within the last 30 minutes, so a fresh 15m trigger is required and none exists — the 18:30 15m candle is a huge two-sided bar (high $76,219.4, low $74,949.3, close $75,874.0) that swept both the dVAL/day-low side and the dVAH side, i.e. pure chop, not a clean rejection. On top of that, the only direction I may record here is a short, yet the corroboration points the other way: CVD confirming_up, OI building in a healthy uptrend, price reclaimed VWAP/D-Open/dPOC on that same candle, and 5m delta is flat — shorting into a reclaimed VWAP with buyers just having bought the sweep of the day low is fading momentum into support. No clean trigger, no corroboration.
