Daily Bias: Start Your Day In Alignment

  • What happened in earlier sessions;
  • Which fundamentals are driving the market;
  • The directional bias for your key assets;

💡Pro Tip: Always trade with the market bias, not against it. This ensures you’re aligned with major moves rather than fighting the trend.

Afterward, consult MRKT AI Predictions of the interested data.

  • Historical price patterns;
  • Statistical deviations;
  • Current market conditions;

💡 Note: This is confluence, not a signal, it validates or challenges your bias.
