Today's Read

Auto-derived from XLY session history · updated nightly

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

On Tuesdays, Normal Variation sessions are the most common at 46.2%. Watch for a moderate range expansion past IB but capped at 2× IB.

The first hour rarely holds

IB breaks 94.5% of the time — only 5.5% of sessions stay range-bound. Both sides break 18.7% (Neutral days).

What "normal" looks like

Average session range is 1.2 pts. The middle 68% of sessions runs 0.3358 → 2.0 — 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 63.0% of the time. Lower half: IB low breaks 58.9% of the time.
