Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 5m wick-and-reclaim of the developing VAL ($78,006), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (08:30) closed DOWN at $78,014.7 through the dVAL, which is not a rejection close back above the level, so no 15m trigger exists. Context is also non-directional: price is coiled inside a $340 overnight range between dVAL $78,006 / VWAP $78,083 / dPOC $78,136, sitting essentially at mid-range fair value with flat 5m delta (-2.3 BTC), quiet short-covering OI and no CCV in play — the method says take no new position at the POC/mid-range. This same dev_val level already fired within the last 30 minutes; I want a fresh 15m close before considering it.
