A session opens with a 5-pip gap above the prior day's high. Within 10 minutes, price fills the gap and prints a 'Selling Tail' at the open high. After 30 minutes, the range is 12 pips.
If the session continues to rotate within this 12-pip range for the next three hours, how is the session trending?
- It is a 'Non-Trend Day' (Inside Day), as participation is low and price is trapped in a narrow range.
- It is a 'Neutral-Extreme Day' that is simply pausing ahead of a probable late-session range breakout.
- It is a 'Normal Variation Day' exhibiting modest bearish range extension beyond the initial balance boundary.
- It is an 'Open Drive' moving directly toward the lower value area with no meaningful rotation phase developing.
