■ Executive Synthesis
Price at 1.14830 in a ranging (sideways) market, volatility in the 23rd percentile of the last 90 days (near normal). Nearest support at 1.14380 and resistance at 1.14925; the statistical week (5-day cone) spans 1.13694–1.16006, so the week's statistical range reaches out to test both edges. Risk level medium, with a neutral lean that describes the past window, not the future. (Statistical and structural description, not a recommendation.)
■ 1. Market Structure
State: RANGING (stable for 1 calendar days since 2026-09-18)
Swing structure: HH_HL — no fresh break, but price trades below the last confirmed swing low (1.15650); it was broken on an earlier bar
Phase: TREND_EXPANSION (range position 41.1%) — a high trend-strength reading only: it describes how orderly the past move was, and makes no claim that price is going one way
Last candle size: 0.75× ATR
Candle pattern: none detected on the latest bar(s)
■ Trend & Momentum
Trend firmness (ADX): 27.7 (+DI 12.4 / −DI 26.3)
Trend strength score◆: +55.4 / ±100 (upward structure)
Momentum score◆: -37.5 / ±100 (RSI distance + MACD slope + rate of change)
Momentum strength (RSI): 36.4 (lower range)
Short-term momentum (MACD): histogram -0.00223 (MACD line below its signal)
Momentum (raw): -0.013 (recent closes drifting lower than earlier ones)
■ Timeframe Alignment
Perspectives: 1D: Ranging · 1W: Ranging
Verdict: Fully aligned on Ranging (agreement◆ 100%)
■ Supporting & Conflicting Factors
Supporting:
(none)
Conflicting:
− The prevailing pattern is aging or showing early structural-change signals.
■ Fibonacci Levels
Withheld — price has traded back through the leg's origin, so the impulse it measured is over. Awaiting a fresh confirmed swing.
■ Fair Value Gaps
Bullish gap: 1.14050 – 1.14320 (still open, printed 36 bars ago)
Bearish gap: 1.14970 – 1.15250 (still open, printed 1 bar ago)
(An unfilled zone the market rushed past — worth watching if price returns to it.)
■ 2. Liquidity
Historical pools: 295 resolved, 65% ended as liquidity sweeps rather than clean breaks (by definition: a close back inside the level on the piercing bar itself or within the 3 bars after it).

■ 3. Volatility, Risk & Market Regime
ATR 0.00493 (MEDIUM, +3.16% vs the report of 11 days ago)
Classification: RANGING — current volatility at the 23.3th percentile of the last 90 days (0.88× the window mean).
Complexity: MEDIUM — entropy 0.83, at the 38.4th percentile of this symbol's own trailing year.
Risk (VaR95): most you'd expect to lose on a normal day ≈ ±0.44% · level: MEDIUM (volatility above its own quiet band — not from the figure above)
Bad-day loss (CVaR95): average loss across the worst 5% of days ≈ ±0.53%
Statistical boundary (95% — breached ~1 day in 20): 1.14322 – 1.15338
Adopted method: parametric (the tail was too thin to fit a GPD).
Companion for comparison: distribution-free VaR95 ≈ ±0.40%
Recent volatility (EWMA): ≈ ±0.28%/day — near its usual level (recency-weighted).
Typical day range (±1σ, recency-weighted): 1.14503 – 1.15157
Observed range (last 90 days): 1.13240 – 1.17110
ATR against its own average: 0.00493 vs 0.00549 (below normal)
Prevailing pattern: 37 days old (similar patterns last 65 days on average) · health◆ 62.1%
Deepest realized decline (max drawdown, last 90 bars): −2.59% peak-to-trough over 26 calendar days, recovered to its peak after 82 calendar days under water.
Probability cone (90%): a band that widens with √time — each edge breached ~1 day in 20. A description of widening uncertainty, not a price forecast:
1 day out: 1.14322 – 1.15356
5 days out: 1.13694 – 1.16006 ⚠️ lower edge breached 5.6%, not 5%
10 days out: 1.13224 – 1.16492
20 days out: 1.12558 – 1.17180 ⚠️ lower edge breached 6.3%, not 5%
⚠️ Flagged edges above do not hold as a 95% bound on this symbol at that horizon. The rate is measured walk-forward on the symbol's own history; the figure is published with its limit stated rather than as an absolute.
GARCH(1,1) — companion read: tomorrow's volatility ≈ ±0.28% · long-run ≈ ±0.27% · persistence α+β=0.72 (closer to 1 = slower reversion to normal).
GARCH companion cone (90% — volatility mean-reverts instead of the flat √t rule; does not feed the declared figures, audited alongside them):
1 day out: 1.14318 – 1.15360
5 days out: 1.13689 – 1.16011
10 days out: 1.13220 – 1.16496
20 days out: 1.12555 – 1.17183

■ 5. Statistical Context
Under the same conditions (20-bar move DOWN, ATR percentile LOW, position in the 90-bar range MID),
148 historical analogs moved positively over the next 5 days in 57% of cases
(median +0.26%, interquartile -0.46% … +0.97%). Probabilistic context — not a forecast.
For comparison, ALL 5,011 sessions on record moved positively in 49% of cases — the conditioning added +8 percentage points.
Seasonality — September historically (19 years): closed positive in 47% of years, median -0.41% · Wilson 95% CI on that share [27% – 68%] → NOT statistically significant — the interval straddles 50%; context, nothing more.
Fridays historically (1012 days): mean -0.021%/day → inside the noise (t=-1.22).
■ 6. Anomaly Detection
No anomalous behaviour detected — price is moving within its usual statistical bounds.

⚠ Risk estimator changed: EVT_GPD+EMPIRICAL → PARAMETRIC+EMPIRICAL (reason: no GPD tail could be fitted to this window, so the declared figures fall back to the parametric method). The declared VaR/ES below are not measured the same way as the previous report's.
◆ Composed by this engine: built from our own formula, not read from a standard indicator. Everything unmarked (RSI, ADX, ATR, MACD, VaR, Fibonacci) is a standard method computed on our data.
