Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 5-minute close through the developing dPOC ($78,556.5), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the last CLOSED 15m candle (2026-08-31 23:45, O $78,494.2 C $78,511.5, a 25-point inside doji on 2.8 BTC) closed BELOW the level and confirms nothing. The current 15m candle is still FORMING. On top of that the day is only ten minutes old: the developing POC/VAH/VAL are all clustered within $50 of each other on ~10 BTC of volume and carry no information, and the 4h CVD is confirming_down against a +7.9 BTC 5m delta — a poor, thin reaction with no corroboration. No trigger, no reaction quality: pass.
