Reading index epics around the open

Index epics often show a clear change in activity around their local market open. That does not make the open a guaranteed opportunity; it makes it a useful observation point.

Range and reaction

Compare the first expansion with the prior session range. A fast move that immediately returns to the opening area tells a different story from a move that builds acceptance above it.

Keep the claim modest

Market education should describe what was observable, what was uncertain, and what would invalidate the narrative. It should not turn a recurring shape into a promise.
