Passed — no trade

Price is sitting exactly on the developing dPOC ($78,118.5) / daily VWAP ($78,088.1) — the dead middle of a very tight 15m range ($77,932–$78,261) with near-zero volume. The gate fired on a 1m close, which is never a valid trigger; the last CLOSED 15m candle (08:15) closed UP at $78,115.7 inside the range and confirms nothing. No level-reaction, no established trend to continue (1m/5m/15m are chop), and delta is flat with OI merely short-covering — this is the POC-chop no-trade zone the method explicitly avoids.
