Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 15m wick-and-close-back at the developing VAH ($79,884), but that is a marginal 3-dollar poke — not a genuine sweep of a stop-rich, pre-existing level, and it sits directly beneath much more meaningful resistance (pdH/wH $79,941.9, pdVAH $79,904, pwVAH $79,520 already reclaimed). Corroboration is against the short: 24h OI backdrop healthy_uptrend, 4h CVD confirming_up, price above daily VWAP/dPOC and value migrating clearly higher day over day — the only bearish input is the 5m taker-delta divergence, which is confirmation, never a trigger. Shorting into a strong uptrend just under the day/week high is fading momentum into a level, and a long here would be entering at resistance; no clean trade either way.
