Passed — no trade

The gate fired a 30m rejection of the developing week POC ($78,752.5), but that is a mid-value, in-the-middle-of-balance level, not a high-quality HTF short location — price is sitting between wVAL $78,202 / mVAL $77,043 below and wVAH $79,485 / pwPOC $79,706 above, i.e. POC chop, and the method says take no new trades off the point of control. Structure also contradicts a short here: today's 13:30 candle swept the week low $77,576.9 and price has closed back up strongly (4H closed up, 30m closed up), so momentum into support would be exactly the forbidden fade; OI shows short covering, not trapped longs. No clean trigger at a tradeable Tier-1 level, so I pass.
