This week in the markets
Every hour we run ten technical indicators over six instruments and record what they say. This is the last seven days of that record — not where the market ended, but how its technical picture moved to get there, which is the part a single snapshot hides.

Where each one stands right now
The live page shows every indicator behind today’s reading, and why each one votes the way it does.
These readings are produced by a fixed set of technical indicators applied to hourly price data. They describe what those indicators say; they are not a forecast, not advice, and not a recommendation to trade. Technical signals are wrong regularly, and most often when a market changes character — which is exactly when an indicator that worked all week stops working. Trading on margin carries a high level of risk.
