Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on a rejection of the developing wVAL ($78,081), but the reaction quality is wrong for a short here: price just flushed 4,600 points off the day high into $76,827 and is sitting directly on major HTF support — pwPOC $77,171.5, the developing week low $76,622.1 and the day naked POC below at $76,239.5 — so this is a fade of momentum INTO a strong level, which is forbidden, not a clean level-reaction. Nor is the long side triggered: there is no 30-minute reclaim close back above wVAL (the 17:00 candle closed BELOW it) and no sweep-reclaim of $77,171/$76,622 has printed. No valid trigger in the direction the location allows — wait for either a reclaim close above $78,081 or a sweep-and-reclaim close of the weekly low.
