Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on a 5-minute rejection at dVAL $79,787 — but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the only closed 15m candle (13:15 UTC, O $79,843.1 C $79,744.1) closed through dVAL with no retest yet and no 15m rejection/reclaim structure. Beyond the missing 15m trigger, the tape is a tight $79,540–$80,082 balance around VWAP $79,841 / dPOC $79,869 with the day open $79,799 right here — this is mid-value, the poor location the method says not to trade — and volume/delta into the level is tiny (2–10 BTC bars), a poor reaction. No confirmed trigger and a mid-range location: pass.
