Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 5m close below dVAL ($78,892) but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (00:00 UTC, C $78,906.0) closed above the dVAL/VWAP/dPOC cluster, so no 15m close through or rejection at the level has printed. The location is also a tight three-dollar-wide cluster (dVAL $78,892 / dPOC $78,902 / VWAP $78,905 / D-open $78,935) with price sitting right inside it — the middle of a 350-dollar developing balance, which the method calls a no-trade zone. Corroboration is also mixed against a short: CVD confirming_up, 5m delta bullish divergence, OI in a healthy uptrend and price above the weekly open — flow does not support fading here.
