Passed — no trade

The gate's trigger — the 09:45 15m close below dPOC $77,918.5 / pdVAL $77,912.0 — is a marginal break with no follow-through: price is chopping in a $150 band around the level, the 5m delta is flat (-32.8 BTC over 30m) with no aggressive selling response, and volume into the break is thin. That is exactly the poor reaction the method says to pass on. Location is also wrong for a fresh short: price sits right on the developing day low $77,705.6 / dVAL $77,706.0 and W-Open $77,650.6, i.e. selling into a strong support cluster rather than in open space, and the sole clean level below (D-nPOC $76,239.5) is far away while OI is rising into the flush.
