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 →

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 →
Sep 08, 2026, 12:00 UTC
PassedThe 11:00 UTC 15m candle did close through dVAL ($78,447) — a valid break trigger — but a close through a level is confirmation, not an entry: the method requires the RETEST back up into $78,447 / the trigger candle's body ($78,513-78,447), and price is currently at $78,264, i.e. the extension, not the retest. Beyond that the read is not corroborated for a short: CVD prints a bullish divergence, 5m delta is flat (+2 BTC) with almost no volume on the break, and price is sitting just above the day low $78,109.9 with M-Open $78,511.5 and the naked POC $77,753.5 close beneath — a poor reaction into support, not a clean continuation location.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 11:15 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute close below the Month Open ($78,511.5) — but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the most recent CLOSED 15-minute candle (10:45 UTC, C $78,513.7) closed essentially AT the M-Open, not decisively through it, so no 15m level-reaction trigger exists. There is also no continuation trigger: the 15m tape is chop between $78,109.9 and $78,934.3 with no clean lower-high/lower-low sequence, and the broader signals contradict a short here anyway (CVD confirming_up, OI healthy_uptrend +0.40%, 5m delta flat, F&G 69 Greed) while price sits just above the dLow/dVAL cluster with the daily low $78,109.9 as fresh support. Missing element: a confirming 15-minute close, plus corroboration.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 11:05 UTC
PassedThe fired trigger is a 15m close back below pdL ($78,627) — but that is a rejection from BELOW a level price already lost hours ago, not a fresh break: pdL was broken at 04:00–07:00 UTC and price has since spent the whole session under it, so this is a minor lower-timeframe wick, not a stop-rich sweep-reclaim. Structurally price is now caught between dVAL/M-Open ($78,451/$78,511) as support directly underneath and VWAP $78,711 just overhead, with the 15m tape chopping sideways (78,110–78,934) rather than trending — so neither a level-reaction short (it would be fading momentum into support two dollars away) nor a with-trend continuation qualifies. Corroboration also conflicts: CVD confirming_up, OI healthy_uptrend, funding mildly positive and Delta 5m flat all refuse to confirm a short here, and any honest short T2 (dLow $78,110) against a stop above $78,940 is well under 1:1.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 11:00 UTC
PassedThe fired trigger is a 15m close below daily VWAP ($78,712) — but it is a thrust-through with no retest available (price $78,608 is below the level, not back at it), and it fires directly INTO strong support rather than in open space: pdL $78,627 / M-Open $78,511 / dVAL $78,449 sit immediately beneath, so a continuation short here is the forbidden fade of momentum into support. Corroboration also contradicts the short: CVD is confirming_up, 5m delta shows a bullish divergence (+5.6 BTC) against the new lows, OI is a healthy 4h uptrend and F&G is 69 Greed — so the read is conflicted, not merely awaiting a retest. No long trigger exists either: the low $78,109.9 sweep has produced no 15m reclaim close back above pdL/VWAP.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 10:45 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5m wick-and-close-back below pdVAL $78,831 — but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (10:15 UTC, O 78,665.9 H 78,934.3 L 78,664.0 C 78,774.5) closed UP, i.e. it is a bullish push off the day low into pdVAL, not a 15m rejection close. So the required 15-minute trigger is missing. Corroboration also conflicts with a short: CVD is confirming_up, 5m delta is +7 BTC confirming_up, OI is in a healthy 4h uptrend, funding is benign (+0.005%) and price just reclaimed daily VWAP $78,712.7 from below — flow is bidding, not fading, at this level, so I would be fading momentum into a reclaim with no trigger.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 10:30 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute wick-and-close-back below pdVAL $78,831 — but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (10:00 UTC, O $78,684.8 H $78,693.6 L $78,607.1 C $78,665.9) never even reached pdVAL, so no 15-minute close through or rejection at the level has printed. Confluence is also mixed rather than corroborating a short: price is back above daily VWAP $78,711.8, 4h CVD is confirming_up, OI is in a healthy 4h uptrend and 5m delta is flat (+0.9 BTC) — a poor, low-volume reaction at the level. No trigger = pass.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 10:25 UTC
PassedThe gate fired a 15m wick-below/close-above of pdL $78,627.0, but that is not a genuine sweep-reclaim: price had already broken decisively BELOW pdL hours ago (04:00–09:00 UTC traded down to $78,109.9, taking out the previous day's low and the day low), so the 10:00 candle is a minor internal poke back down from beneath, not a failed auction reclaim of an intact level — pdL is now overhead-broken structure, not a defended one. The reaction quality is also poor: 7.7 BTC on the trigger candle, Delta 5m flat (-0.5 BTC), and price is pinned right at daily VWAP $78,710.9 with dVAL $78,441 below and D-Open $79,059.6 above — no room and no confirmed structure change either way. Missing element: the confirming trigger at a valid, pre-existing level plus corroborating flow.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 10:15 UTC
PassedThe only reclaim of pdL ($78,627) is a 5-minute wick-and-close (10:00 UTC) — a 5m close is never a valid named trigger on this book, and the last CLOSED 15m candle (09:45, O 78,689 H 78,741.6 L 78,670.1 C 78,684.8) never traded down to pdL at all, so no 15-minute level-reaction has printed. Structurally price also isn't in a clean sweep-reclaim of pdL: the real flush low was $78,109.9 hours ago and price has already ground back up, so the "sweep" is a stale, minor poke rather than a stop-rich failed auction. Price is sitting right on VWAP ($78,711) and pdL in the middle of the day's range with 3.5 BTC of volume on the last candle — a poor, low-participation reaction with no confirming 15m close in either direction.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 10:05 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5m wick-and-close-below VWAP ($78,711.5), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book and the named 15m candle (09:30, closed UP at $78,689.0) is a with-trend-UP close, not a rejection — so there is no 15-minute trigger for a short at VWAP. STATE also shows this VWAP level already fired within the last 30 minutes and today's book is red. Corroboration contradicts a short anyway: CVD confirming_up, Delta 5m +9 BTC confirming_up, OI healthy_uptrend and F&G 69 Greed, while price is grinding back up into VWAP from the day low — no clean setup either direction here in the middle of the dVAL/VWAP zone.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 09:55 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 1-minute cross back below daily VWAP ($78,711.7) — a 1m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the only closed 15m candle (09:30 UTC, O $78,409.4 → C $78,689.0, up) is a bullish thrust INTO VWAP from below, not a rejection close at it and not a with-trend short close. So there is no confirming 15-minute trigger for either direction here. Corroboration is also mixed for a short: 4h CVD confirming_up, 5m delta +7.5 BTC confirming_up, OI building on a healthy 4h uptrend, and price sits just off the freshly flushed day low $78,109.9 / M-Open $78,511.5 support — fading momentum into that support is forbidden. Watching for a 15m close-and-hold above VWAP toward dVAL $78,437/D-Open, or a proper rejection close back under VWAP, before acting.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 09:45 UTC
PassedThe fired trigger is a marginal one: the 09:15 15m candle poked $78,446.5 above dVAL $78,431.0 and closed $78,409.4 just below it — a $22 rejection inside noise, on 14.7 BTC, with 5m delta flat (+4.1 BTC/30m) and no delta response at the level, i.e. a poor reaction. Corroboration also conflicts: CVD shows a bullish divergence and price sits just above the M-Open $78,511.5 / D-nPOC↓ $77,753.5 zone with the day low $78,109.9 freshly made, so shorting here would be fading momentum into support rather than trading a clean rejection. No clean level-reaction, and the reaction quality is insufficient — pass.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 09:30 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 1-minute wick/close under dVAL $78,443 — a 1m close is never a valid trigger, and no 15m candle has closed rejecting or reclaiming that level (the last closed 15m, 08:15, closed UP at $78,425 just under it, with the 08:45 candle still forming). Structurally price is grinding sideways just under dVAL/VWAP after the flush to $78,109.9, with CVD showing a bullish divergence and delta flat — that contradicts a continuation short here, and there is no reclaim close to justify a long. No confirming 15-minute trigger plus conflicting flow = pass.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 08:30 UTC
PassedPrice action feed is unavailable, so I cannot name a specific 15-minute candle that closed through or rejected any level — the trigger requirement is unmet, and a level in reach (dVAL $78,475 / VWAP $78,755 / dLow $78,110) is only a candidate. Signals are also mixed: CCV not in play, funding neutral, 5m delta flat with a 4h bullish CVD divergence against price sitting below VWAP and the day open. No confirmed close, so no trade.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 08:00 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5m wick-and-reject at dVAL $78,537 — but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (07:30, O $78,410.2 H $78,546.0 L $78,377.7 C $78,377.9) never traded back above dVAL: it closed ~$160 below the level, so there is no 15m rejection AT the level and no retest of it. Price is also sitting on the developing day low ($78,201.6) with 5m delta flat (+15.2 BTC) and no delta response — a poor reaction — so a continuation short here would be fading into a freshly flushed low, which the method forbids. No qualifying 15m trigger = pass.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 07:45 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5m wick-and-close at the developing day low ($78,201.6) — but that is a 5m close, and the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (06:45 UTC, O 78,381.4 H 78,427.2 L 78,201.6 C 78,269.9) closed DOWN, making a fresh low: no 15m reclaim/rejection trigger exists, so the named trigger for a sweep-reclaim long is missing. The dev low is also not a pre-existing, stop-rich level — it is a fresh extreme of an ongoing 1m/5m/15m downtrend, and the broader signals (CVD confirming_down, price below VWAP $78,826 and below the day open, weakening OI) contradict a long; the only corroboration is the 5m bullish delta divergence, which is never a trigger. Conversely a continuation short here is forbidden: it would be fading momentum into the freshly flushed day low with no pullback retest.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 07:00 UTC
PassedThe only trigger on the tape is a bullish one — the 06:00 15m candle wicked the developing day low $78,388 and closed back above it — and STATE already has an open long on this book, so a same-direction trade is barred. For a short, there is no trigger at all: price is sitting on the day low with a reclaim close beneath it, and shorting into a freshly swept low / M-Open ($78,511.5) support is exactly the fade-into-support the method forbids. No confirming 15m short close, no location worth shorting from here.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 06:15 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5m close below the M-Open $78,511.5, but the named trigger must be a 15-minute close: the last closed 15m (05:45) closed at $78,509.6 — barely below the level, no clean rejection or thrust close, and the 06:00 15m candle is still FORMING. Reaction quality is also poor: Delta 5m is flat (-0.9 BTC / 30m) with no delta response into the fresh low, price sits right on the developing day low $78,388 (a strong support, not open space), so a momentum short into it is forbidden. This level already fired within the last 30 minutes, so I demand a fresh 15m close plus a delta response before acting.View thesis →
