Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 15m close below the developing day POC ($64,688.5), but this is not a tradeable setup. Price is essentially pinned at fair value — the dev POC, daily VWAP ($64,737) and day open ($64,766) are all within ~$100 of price, with the entire day's range a tight $270 band ($64,622–$64,893). Per method you do not open new positions at the POC / middle of value; this is a chop zone, not a clean level-reaction. The dev VAL ($64,622) sits just below and the day low ($64,622.8) coincides with it, so there is no open space to short into — a break lower runs straight into support. Signals also conflict: 4h CVD confirming up and OI 24h uptrend versus 5m delta confirming down and CCV short bias — no corroborated directional read. No clean level in open space plus contradictory flow = pass.
