Today's Read

Auto-derived from XLF session history · updated nightly

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

On Tuesdays, Normal Variation sessions are the most common at 50.1%. Watch for a moderate range expansion past IB but capped at 2× IB.

The first hour rarely holds

IB breaks 93.3% of the time — only 6.7% of sessions stay range-bound. Both sides break 14.6% (Neutral days).

What "normal" looks like

Average session range is 0.4889 pts. The middle 68% of sessions runs 0.1892 → 0.7887 — anything outside is an outlier day.

Gaps tend to fill

VPOC is the leading tell

When the IB VPOC sits in the upper half, IB high breaks 62.8% of the time. Lower half: IB low breaks 58.4% of the time.
