What the AI sees on IWM right now
Bias, the pattern in play, the levels that matter and the line that would prove the idea wrong, in plain English.
Plain arithmetic from IWM's daily bars, no guesswork: the classic floor-trader pivot (P = (high + low + close) / 3 of the last full session) with R1/R2 and S1/S2, the prior day's high, low and close, and the 5- and 20-day ranges. Levels within 0.05% of each other are merged. Traders watch these because many other traders watch them; a level is a place to pay attention, not a prediction.
