Passe — pas de trade

The fired level is the developing week POC at $78,731.5 — a mid-range value level, not an outer boundary, and price is sitting essentially on top of it in the middle of the weekly value area (wVAL $78,571 / wPOC $78,731.5 / wVAH $79,668) — POC chop, exactly the location the method says not to trade. The 16:00 UTC 30m "rejection" is a 350-dollar-wide inside candle that closed UP, above wVAL and above the monthly 6c VAH $78,500, so it is not a clean short trigger; and a short is contradicted by the HTF read (weekly and monthly closed up, F&G 66 Greed, OI falling on short covering rather than trapped longs building). Only a short may be recorded on this book, and no corroborated short trigger at a tradeable outer level exists.
