Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on a pdEQ ($79,665.3) rejection, but the reaction quality is not there: the 12:15 15m candle poked $79,686.7 and closed $79,506 on 6.3 BTC of volume, 5m delta is flat (+1.6 BTC/30m), OI is flat on the 4h, and the tape has been chopping in a $79,210–$79,975 box all session — this is mid-range noise between dVAL/dLow ($78,966) and VWAP/D-Open ($80,056–$80,216), i.e. the no-trade middle of the profile. Directionally the signals conflict as well: 4h CVD confirming_down and price below VWAP argue short, while the daily structure is a clear uptrend off $62k with value migrating higher, greed sentiment and healthy 24h OI, so a short here would fade a strong trend into the freshly made day low. No qualifying trigger with corroboration — pass.
