Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 5-minute wick-and-close-back below the developing dPOC ($78,932.5) — but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (23:45 UTC, O 78,909.0 → C 78,934.8, up) closed right ON the dPOC/VWAP/D-open cluster, i.e. no 15m rejection or acceptance either way. Price is pinned in a ~$170 band between dVAL 78,892 and dVAH 78,961 with the day just 10 minutes old, so this is the mid-range/fair-value location the method says not to trade, and the read is contradicted anyway: CVD confirming_up, OI +2.79% healthy uptrend, negative funding and a higher-value day argue up while the fired signal points down. No 15m trigger, no location edge — pass.
