Bullish / BearishPointing up / pointing down. Green means up everywhere on this desk; red means down.
Score (0–100)A timeframe’s technical verdict. 50 is neutral; above 55 leans bullish, below 45 leans bearish.
MAThe moving-average basket — trend-following lines. Its word says whether the averages point up or down.
OSCThe oscillator basket — momentum gauges like RSI, MACD and Stochastic, summarised into one word.
RSIRelative Strength Index: how stretched price is. Above 70 = overbought (Sell signal), below 30 = oversold (Buy signal).
MACDA momentum indicator. When its line crosses above its signal line, momentum has turned up — a bullish cross.
ADXTrend strength, not direction. Above 25 the trend is real; below 20 the tape is chop.
ATRAverage True Range — how far price typically travels in a day. Bigger ATR, wilder tape.
EMA / SMAExponential / Simple moving averages. Price above the 20, 50 and 200 is an uptrend by construction.
EMA RibbonThe 9·20·50·200 EMAs stacked fast-to-slow. When they sit in clean order, every average agrees on the trend — the indicator panel flags it.
Tick volumeHow many price updates the market printed — the activity gauge behind the VOL pace chip and the bars under the daily candles. It grades conviction, not direction, so it never sits inside a score.
VWAPVolume-Weighted Average Price — the day’s (or week’s, month’s, quarter’s) true average, weighted by how much traded at each price. Above it, buyers paid up; below it, sellers did.
Anchored VWAPA VWAP measured from a chosen start — this desk anchors one per horizon: session, weekly, monthly and quarterly, each judging its matching timeframe.
TimeframeThe candle size a view is built on: 15M, 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly. Each can disagree with the others.
Intraday / Swing / PositionArticle horizon tags: today’s session / days-to-weeks / weeks-to-months.
SupportA floor — a price where buyers have stepped in before and may again.
ResistanceA ceiling — a price where sellers have stepped in before and may again.
Pivot (P, R1–R3, S1–S3)Classic floor-trader levels computed from the previous day or month’s range. P is the balance point; R’s are ceilings above it, S’s floors below.
Previous closeWhere the last session finished — today’s gains and losses are measured from it.
52-week high / lowThe outer edges of the last year’s trading — big psychological markers when price gets near.
Crowd level (×N)A price multiple analysts in the feed are citing right now; ×N counts how many are watching it.
The LadderThis desk’s vertical map of all the levels above (red zone) and below (green zone) the live price.
FVGFair Value Gap — the hole left by a move so fast one candle’s range never overlapped its neighbour two back. A footprint of volatility.
InversionWhen a candle body closes out the far side of a gap, it flips role — old support acts as resistance, or the reverse.
Body closeThe candle’s closing price crossing a level. On this desk only body closes resolve a gap — wicks poking through change nothing.
Break ↑ / ↓The board’s flag that a recent candle body closed through a volatility gap on that timeframe — follow-through, shown as context.
SessionOne of gold’s three trading shifts — Asia (Tokyo), London, New York — each with its own hours and character.
AMDAccumulation → Manipulation → Distribution: the Power-of-3 cycle the Session Read classifies.
AccumulationA tight, quiet coil — positions being built while price goes nowhere.
ManipulationThe stop-run: a sharp push through the coil’s edge that reverses — also called the Judas swing.
DistributionThe real move — efficient, one-way, usually against the manipulation, where the profit is taken.
Playbook priorOdds quoted from the framework’s usual sequence — a lens, not a measured backtest.
