  • Activity pressure is positive on the latest completed week.
  • Next-week expectancy is positive at 55.85% based on similar historical setup states.
What could go wrong

What to watch next
  • Trend Line remains the key weekly regime level.
  • Activity pressure is the gauge to monitor for confirmation or fade.
