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 NQ breaks its initial balance in this direction, what range expansion typically follows, and how similar sessions resolved. Profitabul's paid report engine computes exactly those statistics over historical sessions.
