Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 15m rejection at dVAL/pdVAH ($78,821/$78,803), but the reaction quality is poor: the "rejection" candle traded only 11.4 BTC on a wick above the level, taker delta over the last 30m is dead flat (+1 BTC), and open interest is falling (4h -0.79%, 24h short-covering -3.86%) — no trapped-longs fuel behind a short. Price is also sitting in the middle of the day's range between the flushed dLow $77,988 and VWAP $79,014, i.e. chop/no-trade territory, and a short here would be fading straight into the fresh spike low with only ~$750 to the next real support. No corroborated, high-quality short trigger — pass.
