PassedOnly a short may be recorded on this book, and there is no confirmed 15-minute short trigger: the gate fired on a 5m wick-and-close-below pdL ($78,627), which can only corroborate, never stand as the named trigger. The most recent closed 15m (16:15) is a tiny inside-range candle, not a rejection close at pdL, and the broader read contradicts a short anyway — the 12:00 4H candle reclaimed the 77,576.9 flush and closed up at its high, price sits just above daily VWAP $78,537 with CVD confirming_up and OI showing short-covering. That is a bullish reclaim context, not a short.View thesis →

PassedNo price action is available this tick, so I cannot name a specific closed 15-minute trigger candle — and the TRIGGER FACTS/candles are the only thing that could confirm a rejection or reclaim. Structurally price is pinned between M-Open $78,511.5 / VWAP $78,536.8 and dPOC $78,350.5, i.e. mid-value chop (POC chop = 50/50), with CVD confirming up and delta flat — no corroboration for the short that is the only side I may record. Missing element: the confirming trigger close.View thesis →

PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute close below pdVAL $78,831 — but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the last CLOSED 15m candle (15:45) closed UP at $78,852.2, i.e. it closed back ABOVE pdVAL, which is a bullish reclaim, not a bearish rejection. So the required 15-minute trigger for a short is missing outright. Corroboration also contradicts the short: CVD confirming_up, 5m delta +13.7 BTC confirming_up, price reclaiming VWAP $78,535 from below after the 13:30 flush low at $77,576.9, and OI falling (short covering) — plus I already hold an open long on this book, so only a short could be recorded and there is no case for one.View thesis →

PassedNo price action is available this tick — I cannot name a specific 15-minute candle that closed through or rejected any level, and the TRIGGER FACTS/candle data is absent, so the trigger leg of the three requirements is missing outright. Additionally, this book already holds an open long, so only a short could be recorded, yet the corroborating signals (CVD confirming_up, 5m delta +21.1 BTC confirming up, F&G 69 Greed, price holding above VWAP $78,534.6 and M-Open $78,511.5) contradict a short. No trade.View thesis →

PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute close back above the Month Open ($78,511.5), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (15:15 UTC) closed DOWN at $78,398.1, i.e. back BELOW the month open, so there is no 15-minute confirming close through or rejecting the level. Price is also pinned between VWAP $78,530 / M-Open $78,511 / dPOC $78,350 — the middle of the developing value area, a no-trade zone — with the day still one-time-framing lower off $79,423 while CVD/delta read up, a conflicted read. Missing element: the confirming 15m trigger.View thesis →

PassedThe gate fired a rejection at pdL $78,627 (15m 15:15 wicked to $78,645.5 and closed back below at $78,398.1), which structurally is a bearish level-reaction — but the corroboration contradicts it: 4h CVD is confirming_up, the 5m taker delta is a bullish divergence (+15.9 BTC) into these lows, OI is falling on short-covering (weak), and price has just rallied ~850 off the 77,576.9 flush with the day's VAL/dPOC (78,062/78,350) sitting immediately below as support — a short here would be fading momentum into freshly-reclaimed value, which the method forbids. Direction is unclear on the day (day open 79,059 above, month open 78,511 overhead), so the read is not corroborated and I stand aside.View thesis →

PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute wick-and-close-back below pdL $78,627 — but a 5m close is never the named trigger on this book, and the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (15:00 UTC, O 78,499.7 H 78,594.5 L 78,419.0 C 78,583.0) never even traded above pdL, so there is no 15-minute rejection or reclaim close at the level; the 15:15 candle is still forming. Corroboration is also mixed for a short: 4h CVD is confirming_up, 5m delta is +14.2 BTC confirming up, price has just reclaimed daily VWAP $78,531 from below after the 77,576.9 flush, and OI is falling (short covering) — that argues against fading here. No confirmed trigger, so this is a watch, not a trade.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 15:20 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute VWAP reclaim, but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (15:00 UTC, O 78,499.7 C 78,583.0) is just a small up-candle drifting through VWAP, not a close through or rejection at a Tier-1/Tier-2 level with a defined invalidation wick. Structure is also unclear: price flushed to 77,576.9 (a fresh developing day low with no prior swept level beneath it), then V-recovered back to VWAP/dPOC — chop between dVAL 78,062 and dVAH 78,899, i.e. the middle of the developing value area, which is a no-trade zone. Delta 5m is flat (+0.1 BTC) with tiny volume on the recovery leg and OI is falling (short covering), so reaction quality at VWAP is poor — no participation confirming the reclaim.View thesis →

PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute wick-and-close-back below daily VWAP ($78,529.9), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the last CLOSED 15m candle (14:45 UTC) closed UP at $78,499.7 with no rejection or reclaim close at any tradeable level, so there is no named 15-minute trigger. Direction is also contradicted: price is recovering off the $77,576.9 flush, 4h CVD reads bullish_divergence and OI is falling (short covering), which argues against a VWAP short, while a long is stalled right under VWAP/dVAH with flat 5m delta (+2.4 BTC) — a poor reaction. No confirming close, conflicting corroboration: pass.View thesis →

PassedNo trigger: the price-action feed is unavailable, so I cannot name a specific closed 15-minute candle that closed through or rejected any level — and the TRIGGER FACTS/candle data required to confirm one is absent. Price is sitting essentially on VWAP ($78,530) / M-Open ($78,511) between dPOC ($78,350) and dVAH ($78,903), i.e. mid-value chop with flat 5m delta, no CCV bias, and neutral funding — a no-trade zone until a confirming close prints at a value-area edge.View thesis →

PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute wick-and-close-below the Month Open ($78,511.5), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the last CLOSED 15m candle (14:30) closed UP at $78,357.0 and did not reject or close through the M-Open, so no named 15m trigger exists. Additionally the read is conflicted: price is bouncing off the $77,576.9 day low with a bullish CVD divergence and flat 5m delta, which contradicts a short at M-Open, while daily VWAP ($78,530) sits right overhead unresolved. No confirming close = no trade.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 14:55 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute reclaim of dVAL ($78,317) — but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (14:30, O 78,267.2 / C 78,357.0) is just a small inside up-candle that neither closed through a level nor rejected one; there is no 15m reclaim close back across dVAL after the 13:30 flush to $77,576.9. The bounce off the 77,577 low is also not a clean sweep-reclaim: the swept location is the fresh developing day low, not a pre-existing obvious level, and it has produced no named-timeframe reclaim of dVAL. Trigger is missing — this is a watch, not a trade.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 14:45 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute close below dVAL ($78,317) — but a 5m close is never a valid trigger, and the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (14:15 UTC) closed UP at $78,267.2, i.e. it does not confirm a rejection or break of dVAL; price is simply chopping either side of it. Direction is also contradicted: 5m delta is confirming_up (+60.5 BTC), 4h CVD shows a bullish divergence and OI is falling into the low (shorts covering, weak), so a short here fades a bounce off the freshly flushed dLow $77,576.9 / month-open zone, which the method forbids. No confirmed 15m level-reaction, continuation or reclaim trigger exists — this is a watch, not a trade.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 14:40 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on the developing day low ($77,576.9) with a 13:45 15m candle that wicked it and closed back above — but the swept "level" is a fresh intraday extreme made minutes earlier, not a pre-existing obvious level with clustered stops, so the sweep-reclaim precondition (a) fails. Corroboration also contradicts a long: CVD confirming_down, 5m taker delta -72.5 BTC confirming down, price below daily VWAP $78,555.7 and below both day open and month open, with open interest falling into the low (shorts covering, not trapped longs) — a poor reaction. The one settled level in play, pmVAH $77,682.0, sits inside the wick rather than being cleanly reclaimed with strength, so I want a fresh 15m close and hold back above it before considering the counter-trend long.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 14:00 UTC
PassedThe pmVAH ($77,682) sweep-and-reclaim only has a 5-minute reclaim close (13:50), and a 5m close can never be my named trigger — the last CLOSED 15m candle (13:30) is a large down candle that broke through the level, not a reclaim. On top of that, STATE shows this same pm_vah level fired within the last 30 minutes, and flow is against the long (CVD confirming_down, 5m delta -85 BTC, OI weakening, price making fresh session lows below VWAP $78,564 and the day open). No confirmed 15m reclaim = no trigger; I need a fresh 15m close back above pmVAH before considering the long.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 13:55 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute wick-and-reclaim of the D-nPOC at $77,753.5, but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the named trigger must be a 15-minute close, and the only closed 15m candle (13:30) is a large down candle that broke the day low ($77,619.7) and closed weak, i.e. it confirms downside, not a reclaim. Corroboration also opposes a long here: CVD confirming_down, 5m delta -75.2 BTC confirming down, funding still positive, OI weakening, and price below daily VWAP $78,580 / dVAL $78,361 with the day trending lower. No valid trigger in either direction: a continuation short at a freshly flushed low into the naked POC is a forbidden fade into support, and the long has no 15m reclaim close.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 13:50 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 1-minute reclaim of pmVAH $77,682 — a 1m close is never a valid trigger on this book. The only 15-minute close available (13:30) is a big red impulse candle closing DOWN through pmVAH at $77,788 with heavy volume (120 BTC vs ~5-10 BTC prior), i.e. a downside thrust, not a reclaim; CVD and 5m delta both confirm down and price is in free-fall extension, not at a retest. Fading this flush into the developing day low / pwVAL region is forbidden and there is no confirmed 15m reclaim close to justify the long.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 13:45 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute wick-and-close-back below dVAL $78,419 — but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (13:00 UTC, O 78,365.4 H 78,478.7 L 78,347.6 C 78,405.1) is a tiny doji straddling the level with no rejection or acceptance decision: no 15m trigger has printed. Price is also mid-nothing — chopping between dVAL 78,419 / VWAP 78,684 above and dLow 78,109.9 below — with flat 5m delta (+0.9 BTC), flat open interest and near-zero volume (2.2 BTC on the last 15m), which is exactly the poor reaction quality the method says to pass on. No trigger, no reaction, no trade.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 13:15 UTC
PassedPrice action feed is unavailable, so no 15-minute candle can be named as a trigger — and the TRIGGER FACTS block gives me no closed candle to cite at any level. Without a confirmed close through or rejection at dVAL ($78,431), VWAP ($78,695.7) or the D-nPOC below ($77,753.5), this is proximity only, which is exactly the entry the method forbids. Signals are also mixed (bullish CVD divergence and Greed sentiment against price below VWAP/day-open with short-covering OI), so the read is not corroborated in either direction.View thesis →
