These are statistics about the past, not advice. Most comparable setups did NOT turn. A reading here means the odds have historically been better than normal, never certain. Our data and models can contain errors; past extremes do not predict future turns, and futures losses can exceed your deposit. The decision, and its full risk, is yours.
