Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on a 5-minute wick-and-close-back below the developing POC ($78,029.5), but a 5m close is never a valid named trigger — the most recent CLOSED 15m candle (12:45 UTC) closed UP at $77,868.1, well below the dPOC, so there is no 15-minute rejection or reclaim close at the level. Corroboration is also conflicting for a short: CVD shows a bullish divergence, 5m taker delta is +47.7 BTC bullish_div, CCV bias is long_bias, and price sits right at daily VWAP ($77,966) with the dVAL/D-open ($77,431/$77,650) as support just beneath — fading momentum into that support cluster is exactly the forbidden trade. No clean setup: missing 15m trigger plus contradicted directional read.
