Passe — pas de trade

The only trigger is a 15m candle that dipped $17 below the developing dPOC ($84,264.5) and closed $21 above it — a micro wick in the dead middle of the day's range, not a swept, stop-rich level, and the method explicitly says not to open new positions at the POC (fair value / POC chop). Corroboration also points the other way for a long: 4h CVD confirming_down, 5m delta confirming_down (-10.1 BTC), price below daily VWAP ($85,071) after a 3,800-point intraday flush, and OI falling (short covering) — so the bounce is cover, not new demand. No level-reaction with quality, no established trend pullback in open space, and no reclaim of a genuine prior level; nothing here clears the 2:1 bar to any real objective (dVAL $83,576 below, VWAP $85,071 above are both nearer than a sane stop would justify from mid-range).
