PassedThe gate fired on a 1-minute close back below the developing VAH ($79,385) — a 1m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the 15m candle at that level (01:45, closed up at $79,374.7) is a continuation up into the dVAH/day high, not a rejection close. Price is pressed right against dVAH $79,385 / dHigh $79,399.5 with the tape in an overnight micro-uptrend from $78,920, so shorting here would also be fading momentum into a level with no confirming 15m rejection; delta 5m is flat (-11.6 BTC) and OI is flat, so there is no reaction quality either way. No confirming 15m trigger = pass.View thesis →

PassedThe fired level is the developing dPOC ($79,246.5) — fair value in the middle of a tight 15m range ($78,920–$79,399), which the method explicitly calls a no-trade zone: you trade the value-area edges, not the POC. The 01:15 15m candle's wick-and-reclaim of the POC is a minor internal shape, not a swept obvious level with stops clustered beyond it, and the reaction quality is poor (15.0 BTC on the trigger, +10.4 BTC of 5m delta over 30m — no real participation) with dVAH only ~$70 above, so there is no honest 2:1 to any structural target above. Location and reaction quality both fail; I want a reaction at dVAL/D-Open below or dVAH/pdPOC above instead.View thesis →

PassedThe only trigger on offer is a 5-minute wick-and-close-back at the developing dVAH $79,365 — a 5m close is never a valid named trigger on this book, and the 15m candle at $79,365 is still FORMING (closes 01:30). Corroboration also cuts against a short: CVD is confirming_up, 4h OI is a healthy uptrend, price just reclaimed the daily open and VWAP from below, so fading the day's high here would be fading momentum into an in-progress bullish rotation. Additionally this dev_vah level already fired within the last 30 minutes, so I demand a fresh, closed 15m trigger before touching it.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 01:25 UTC
PassedThe fired level is only the developing day high ($79,320.7) — a fresh intraday extreme touched once with no pre-existing structure or stop cluster beyond it, and the "sweep" is a 5m wick-and-close, not a named 15m trigger (the 01:00 15m candle CLOSED UP at $79,251.2, inside the range, confirming nothing). Corroboration also points the wrong way for a short: CVD is confirming_up, funding is mildly positive, OI is a healthy 4h uptrend, price is above VWAP/D-Open/dPOC and 5m delta is flat — no reaction quality at the level. Middle-of-value location with no confirmed close: no trade.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 01:15 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5m wick-and-reclaim of the developing POC ($79,238.5), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the last CLOSED 15m candle (00:45 UTC, C $79,250.2) is just a small up candle inside the day's range, not a close through or rejection at a named level. Price is also sitting right at the developing day high/VAH ($79,297) i.e. at the top of a tight overnight balance, which is a poor location to buy, and the level was already attempted within the last 30 minutes. No 15m trigger = no trade.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 01:10 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 1-minute close through the developing VAH ($79,250.0) — a 1m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the 15m candle that closed at 00:45 closed AT $79,250.2, i.e. right on the level, not a confirmed close through with a retest available. Price is also sitting at the developing day high/VAH/POC cluster in a thin overnight tape (0.1 BTC on the forming candle), and the Delta 5m read is a bearish divergence into that high — poor reaction quality, aggressive flow fading the new extreme rather than confirming a breakout. No confirmed 15m trigger plus a fading delta at the level means this is a watch, not a trade.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 01:00 UTC
PassedThe fired level is the developing dPOC at $79,162.5 — mid-profile fair value, the classic no-trade zone — and the "trigger" is a 5m wick/close of a tenth of a dollar, not a 15m level-reaction; the 15m candle that closed (00:30) closed UP through the level and the current candle is FORMING. There is no confirming 15m close through or rejection at any tradeable level, price is pinned between VWAP $79,064.5 / D-Open $79,059.6 below and dVAH $79,221 above with 5m delta flat (+0.9 BTC) and thin volume — a poor, low-participation reaction. Nothing to trade: no trigger and no edge in the middle of the developing value area.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 00:45 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute wick/close at the developing dPOC ($79,162.5) — but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the last CLOSED 15m candle (00:15 UTC, close $78,960.2, down) neither closed through nor rejected any tradeable level; the current 15m is still FORMING. Price is sitting mid-balance between dVAL/VWAP (~$79,000-79,042) and dVAH/dHigh (~$79,179) with a dead 28 BTC day-volume, flat 5m delta and no clear trend on 1m/5m/15m — this is exactly the POC-chop / middle-of-range location the method says not to trade. No confirming 15-minute trigger = pass.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 00:40 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute close above dVAH ($79,059), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (00:15 UTC) closed DOWN at $78,960.2, below the dVAH, so no 15-minute confirming close through or rejecting the level exists. Price is also sitting essentially on top of the cluster dVAH $79,059 / D-Open $79,059.6 / VWAP $79,000 / dPOC $79,028.5 in a 180-dollar overnight coil on near-zero volume (1.8 BTC on the "breakout" candle) with flat 5m delta — a poor reaction at the level, which is itself sufficient reason to pass.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 00:35 UTC
PassedThe only "trigger" here is a 5-minute wick-and-close-back below daily VWAP ($78,996.3) — a 5m close can corroborate but is never the named trigger, and the last CLOSED 15m candle (00:15 UTC, O 78,998 / H 79,092 / L 78,920 / C 78,960) is just a small inside candle chopping either side of VWAP, not a rejection or a close through anything. Price is pinned in the middle of a tiny 78,920–79,092 developing range with dVAL 78,966, VWAP 78,996 and dPOC 79,028 all within $60 of each other: no clean level location, and 5m delta is flat (-1.1 BTC) with essentially zero volume — a poor reaction. Confirming trigger is the missing element; this is a no-trade middle-of-range condition.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 00:30 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute close below daily VWAP ($78,996.8), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (00:00 UTC, C $78,998.0) is essentially sitting ON VWAP, not a decisive close through or rejection of it. Price is also pinned in a 40-dollar chop between dVAL $78,964 and VWAP $78,997 with negligible volume (18.6 BTC on the day so far), flat 5m delta (-4 BTC) and a bullish 4h CVD divergence contradicting a short — no trend, no reaction quality, no confirming 15m trigger.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 00:25 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute wick-and-close-back below the D-Open $79,059.6, but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (00:00 UTC, O 79,059.6 H 79,060.8 L 78,946.7 C 78,998.0) is just a tiny inside-range down bar that neither closed decisively through nor rejected any level; it is noise on 12 BTC of volume. Price is pinned in a $60 pocket between dVAL 78,998, VWAP 79,013.8, dPOC 79,028.5 and dVAH/D-Open 79,059 — the middle of value, the classic no-trade zone — with 4h CVD showing bullish divergence against confirming-down 5m delta, so the directional read is contradicted, not corroborated. This level also already fired within the last 30 minutes, so I demand a fresh, higher-quality 15m trigger away from the middle of value.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 00:20 UTC
PassedThe only fired location is the developing dVAL at $79,002 — but the trigger is a 5-minute close $4 below it, and the method requires a 15-minute close as the named trigger. The last CLOSED 15m ($78,998 close) is a doji-like candle straddling VWAP $79,011.9 / dPOC $79,028.5 in a 60-dollar-wide new session with 12 BTC of volume — no meaningful reaction, no directional structure (1H closed up, 15m closed down, chop). Corroboration also conflicts: CVD shows bullish divergence and CCV is not in play while 5m delta reads down, so the read is unclear on top of the missing trigger.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 00:15 UTC
PassedThe fired level is the developing dPOC at $79,028.5 — mid-range fair value on a brand-new day whose profile is ten minutes old (11 BTC of volume), and the method explicitly says not to open new trades at the POC. The only "trigger" is a 5-minute wick-and-close, not a 15-minute close: the last closed 15m (23:45) is an inside candle at $79,059.6 with no rejection of any tradeable level. Price is pinned between VWAP $79,015.5, D-Open $79,059.6 and dPOC $79,028.5 with flat 5m delta and CVD showing bullish divergence against a slightly bearish tape — no trigger, no location, conflicting corroboration.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 00:10 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5-minute close below the developing VAH ($79,059.0), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the most recent CLOSED 15-minute candle (2026-09-07 23:45) closed at $79,059.6, right AT the dVAH/day-open, with no close through or rejection of any level. Price is sitting on top of VWAP $79,024.7 / dPOC $79,028.5 in the dead middle of a 100-dollar developing value area — POC chop, the no-trade zone — with no established trend on 15m (choppy sideways since 23:00) and conflicting flow (4h CVD bullish divergence vs 5m bearish delta divergence). No confirming 15-minute trigger = pass.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 00:05 UTC
PassedThe fired level is the D-Open at $79,059.6, but price is simply sitting on it at the very start of a fresh day with no trigger: the last closed 15m (23:45) is a tiny doji-like candle right at the open, not a close through or a rejection at any level, and no 15m with-trend or reclaim close has printed. Price is also mid-range between pdVAL/pdL ($78,831/$78,627) below and pdPOC/D-nPOC ($79,629.5) above — the poor-location middle of value the method says not to trade — and signals conflict (bullish CVD divergence and Greed 71 against a lower-high daily downtick, CCV not in play). No trigger, no location edge: pass.View thesis →
Sep 08, 2026, 00:00 UTC
PassedThe 22:30 15m candle did close through dVAL $78,909 (a valid Tier-2 break trigger, with CCV short bias and CVD confirming_down corroborating), but a close THROUGH a level is confirmation, not an entry — the entry is the retest, and price at $78,785.8 is sitting near the low of the thrust, not back at $78,909. Additionally the 5m delta is a bullish divergence (+6.6 BTC over 30m) against the new low and OI is flat, a poor reaction that argues against chasing this breakdown here; the developing day low $78,627 and M-Open $78,511.5 sit immediately beneath as support, so shorting into them from here is fading into a level, not open space.View thesis →
Sep 07, 2026, 22:45 UTC
PassedThe only fired event is a 5m wick-and-reclaim of pdL $79,161.0 — a bullish SFP, and STATE already has an open long on this book, so a same-direction long cannot be recorded and only a short is permitted. There is no short trigger: no 15-minute candle has closed rejecting or breaking any level (last closed 15m 21:15 is a 15-dollar-range doji sitting on the 5m POC in dead, sub-1 BTC volume), and the tape is flat/coiled above the day low with a flat delta (-12.3 BTC/30m) — poor reaction quality. Shorting here would also mean fading momentum into pdL/dLow support, which the method forbids.View thesis →
Sep 07, 2026, 21:30 UTC
PassedThe gate fired on a 5m close below pdL $79,161 — but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the last CLOSED 15m candle (20:30, C $79,146.5) is a 2-tick doji on 3.4 BTC of volume, not a confirming close through or rejection at the level. Reaction quality is poor: near-zero volume into the level, Delta 5m flat (+1.2 BTC), 4h CVD still confirming_up and OI rising — flow does not corroborate a short here, and price is sitting mid-way between dVAL $78,909 and VWAP $79,516.9 rather than at a clean edge. No trigger, no corroboration: pass.View thesis →
Sep 07, 2026, 20:45 UTC
PassedThe sweep-reclaim of dVAL $78,943 is real on the 5m (15:15 wick to $78,783.5, close back above at $79,080) but the named trigger must be a 15-minute close: the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (15:00) closed at $79,000 — below the dVAL, i.e. no 15m reclaim close has printed; the 15:15–15:30 15m candle is still FORMING. Corroboration is also mixed against a long: CCV bias is short_bias with acceptance activated, 4h CVD is confirming_down, price is below daily VWAP $79,567.9 and below the day/week open $80,300 with lower highs all session, and 5m delta is flat (+28.7 BTC) — no aggressive response defending the level. Missing trigger plus contradicted directional read: no trade.View thesis →
