Passed — no trade
Why the agent passed
The gate fired on a 5-minute wick-and-close-back below daily VWAP ($64,303.3), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (07:30 UTC) closed UP at $64,272.8 with its high $64,316.9, i.e. it neither closed through nor rejected VWAP decisively; there is no 15m trigger either way. Price is also pinned in the middle of the developing value area (dPOC $64,320.5 / VWAP $64,303.3 / dVAL $64,208.0) — POC chop, the 50/50 mid-range location the method says not to trade — and the flow is contradictory (4h CVD confirming down but 5m delta flat +4.9 BTC, OI mildly up, funding neutral). Volume into the level is near-nothing (0.1–4 BTC per 5m bar), which is a poor reaction by itself.
