Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on a 5-minute wick-and-reclaim of the developing VAH ($79,883), but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book — the last CLOSED 15m candle (01:00 UTC, O $79,833.3 → C $79,919.8) simply closed up through the dVAH with no retest, and the current 15m candle is still FORMING. Beyond that, the location is poor: price is pinned within ~$20 of daily VWAP ($79,866.5), dPOC ($79,836.5) and dVAH ($79,883) inside a $79,785–$79,964 micro-balance — the middle of the profile, a no-trade zone — with flat 5m delta (+0.5 BTC), a tiny 24.9 BTC session volume, and OI in short-covering (-1.59%), i.e. a poor reaction with no order-flow response. Signals also conflict: CCV short_bias versus CVD confirming_up and a bullish daily/4h close.
