HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE61%
MACRO

Clean technical sessions without macro events show higher setup completion rates.

Absence of scheduled events allows price to follow pure technical structure — OR breakouts succeed at +8% above average.

based on historical no-event sessions
ANALOGS

Analog sessions split 50% bull / 50% bear — two-sided outcome risk.
