Passed — no trade

The 03:00 UTC 30m close through the developing wVAL ($78,876) is a break, not a clean short trigger: it is a minor in-flight level sitting inside a still-intact HTF uptrend (August closed strongly up, the settled week closed up at $80,300 off a $76,178.9 low), so a short here fades momentum into support — the weekly low $78,627 and monthly VAL/pmVAH zone ($77,682–$77,087) are immediately beneath, leaving no room to T2 and no corroboration from OI (flat) or funding (mildly positive). No downtrend structure on the 4H (choppy, higher lows since $76,178.9) means no with-trend continuation short either; the only Tier-1 levels worth trading are pwPOC/pwVAH above ($79,706/$79,983) and pwVAL/pmVAH below ($76,970/$77,682), neither of which has been reached or reacted to.
