Inside Range
· Represents intra-day momentum gain/loss
· For example, if the upper bound of the Inside Range is 1425, one can trade short against it/use this area as a stop and vice-versa
· If level is broken (sustained 5 minute move at a minimum, not quick spike up/down), it then typically becomes support/resistance for the remainder of the day
Outside Range
• Represents short-term trend changes
• If broken, the current trend may be in the process of reversing
• 2nd Outside Range (applied if needed) may be in play for a true trend reversal
