Passe — pas de trade

The gate fired on a 5-minute close below the developing POC ($77,160.5) — but a 5m close is never a valid trigger on this book, and the most recent CLOSED 15-minute candle (06:30 UTC, O $77,234.5 C $77,240.3, closed UP well above the dPOC) is not a bearish trigger at all; the break candle is still forming. So the confirming 15m trigger is missing. Beyond that, the location is poor: price is in the middle of a very tight overnight balance (1H range $77,004–$77,458), dPOC/dVAL/VWAP are all stacked within $50 of each other, and 5m delta is flat (-0.4 BTC) with negligible volume — no delta response to corroborate a break. That is mid-range POC chop, which the method explicitly says to avoid.
