Auto-derived from MES session history · updated nightly

It's a Mon — most likely a Normal Variation day

On Mondays, Normal Variation sessions are the most common at 42.3%. Watch for a moderate range expansion past IB but capped at 2× IB.

The first hour rarely holds

IB breaks 97.8% of the time — only 2.2% of sessions stay range-bound. Both sides break 28.5% (Neutral days).

What "normal" looks like

Average session range is 54.0 pts. The 1-σ band runs 17.4 → 90.6 — anything outside is an outlier day.

Gaps tend to fill

Gap up days test prior session high 66.5% of the time. Gap down days test prior low 66.3%.

VPOC is the leading tell

When the IB VPOC sits in the upper half, IB high breaks 69.5% of the time. Lower half: IB low breaks 61.9% of the time.

The overnight range matters

93.0% of RTH sessions break either the overnight high or low. The OVN high is tested 60.4% of the time, OVN low 51.3%.
