One session is a data point, not a pattern. The way to use a day like this is to compare it against the distribution: how often ES breaks its initial balance in this direction, what range expansion typically follows, and how similar sessions resolved. Profitabul's free report engine computes exactly those statistics over the last 120 sessions — no signup required.
