Passed — no trade

The gate fired on a 5m close below pdL $77,004.2, but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the named 15m close (15:00, O $77,151.5 C $77,051.1) closed back below dVAH/pdVAL/pdPOC but is still ABOVE pdL, so no 15m candle has confirmed the level. Corroboration also contradicts the short: CVD is confirming_up, 5m delta is a bullish divergence (+14.1 BTC) into this dip, OI is a healthy uptrend and the 15m/1h leg from the 76,420 day low is making higher lows — a short here would be fading momentum into the developing dPOC $76,731.5 / VWAP $76,882.2 support band, which the method forbids. No trigger, no corroboration: pass.
