Passe — pas de trade

The fired "trigger" is a marginal 15m wick-and-close-back at the developing POC ($76,343.5) — a mid-range level, the fair-value centre of the day, where the method explicitly says not to open new positions. Price is pinned between dVAL $76,183 / VWAP $76,277 and dVAH $76,544 with essentially no rotation, and the reaction quality is poor: 30bp of range on ~30 BTC, 5m delta flat (-17.7 BTC), no delta response to corroborate a short. Corroboration is also mixed — CCV short_bias and OI building favour a fade, but 4h CVD is confirming_up and the last closed 15m/1H/4H candles all closed up with price back above VWAP. Only a short may be recorded on this book, and shorting the dPOC in the middle of the range with no follow-through is exactly the poor-location entry to skip; I'd want a reaction at dVAH $76,544 / W-Open $76,748.8 instead.
