Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 5m close below pdPOC $78,488.5, but a 5m close can never be the named trigger, and the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (15:45, O 78,593.5 C 78,539.7) closed ABOVE pdPOC — no 15m close through the level has printed. This level was also already attempted within the last 30 minutes, so the idea requires a fresh 15m trigger. Price is additionally sitting in the middle of the pdPOC/pdEQ/M-Open cluster ($78,488–78,511) with the 15m that closed at 16:00 actually reclaiming M-Open from below, 5m delta flat (-3.9 BTC) showing no aggressive follow-through, and OI declining (-0.78% 4h) — a poor reaction, so no clean short exists here.
