158.83 · bottom 25%middletop 25% · 171.20
  • Setups to watch: the zone broke to the upside. Watch for a retest of the zone top or a false breakout back inside.
  • Prior move: ICE moved up from $153.90 (the last daily swing) to $173.53, about 4.7 ATR, so the move is extended. Traders often watch the reversal first here.
  • Reversal check: a shooting star or bearish engulfing candle near $171.20.
  • Latest daily candle (Nov 5): Dark Cloud Cover (bearish).
  • Breakout check: RVOL above normal on the break (last day's RVOL: 1.1× on Nov 5).
  • Zone tests: price pushed above the zone top 2 times and fell back, and dipped below the bottom and recovered 7 times. Each test can weaken a zone.

Why opening range matters

The first minutes after the open carry the most volume and the overnight orders. The opening range shows where buyers and sellers first agreed, and a break out of it often sets the direction for the morning.

How traders use it

  • Opening range breakout (ORB): a close above the range high is read as a long signal, below the low as a short signal.
  • Many traders wait for RVOL above normal and a candle close outside the range, not just a poke.
  • A break that falls back inside the range is a failed breakout; the other side becomes the target.

What happened over the last 10 sessions

  • ICE closed the day above its 30-minute opening range on 4 of 10 days and below it on 3.
  • On Nov 5 the first close outside the 30-minute range came at 10:25 AM ET, below the range.
  • Gap: ICE opened Nov 5 at $177.90, a gap up of 1.7% from $174.92; the gap was filled.
  • Round numbers nearby: $160.00, $170.00, $180.00.

Combined conditions

  • VWAP ($174.42) was below the 30-minute range.
  • The delayed price is above the daily zone: watch for a retest or a false breakout.
