  • Setups to watch: the zone broke. Watch for a reclaim back into the zone (false breakdown) or a continuation lower.
  • Prior move: TIP moved down from $106.84 (the last daily swing) to $106.28, about 1.5 ATR. The move is not stretched yet.
  • Reversal check: a hammer or bullish engulfing candle near $110.00.
  • Latest daily candle (Nov 5): Bullish Engulfing (bullish).
  • Breakout check: RVOL above normal on the break (last day's RVOL: 1.7× on Nov 5).
  • Zone tests: price pushed above the zone top 2 times and fell back, and dipped below the bottom and recovered 3 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

  • TIP closed the day above its 30-minute opening range on 1 of 10 days and below it on 3.
  • On Nov 5 the first close outside the 30-minute range came at 11:00 AM ET, above the range.
  • Gap: TIP opened Nov 5 at $105.98, a gap down of 0.1% from $106.10; the gap was filled.
  • Round numbers nearby: $100.00, $110.00, $120.00.

Combined conditions

  • VWAP ($106.25) was inside the 30-minute range.
  • The delayed price is below the daily zone: watch for a reclaim or a continuation lower.
