Day type

What the label at the top of every Daily Recap means.

Every trading day gets one label, derived from the shape of the quant score arc through the session. You’ll see it at the top of every Daily Recap.

The labels

Label	What happened	Color
Trending Up	Score climbed steadily from open to close, no significant pullback	Green
Trending Down	Score fell steadily from open to close, no significant bounce	Red
Reversal (Recovery)	Opened positive, sold off mid-day, recovered into the close	Blue
Reversal (Failed)	Opened negative, rallied mid-day, faded into the close	Orange
Range-Bound	Score oscillated; no decisive move in either direction	Gray
Breakout	Closed well beyond the day’s typical range — a meaningful new level	Magenta
Mixed	None of the above patterns fit cleanly	Amber

Why the label matters

• Trending days tend to have follow-through the next session — direction persists.
• Range days are mean-reverting environments — fading extremes pays.
• Reversal days are where regime shifts often start — pay attention to what caused the reversal.
• Breakouts are decisive — they’re a tell that the market accepted a new level.

The label is a description, not a prediction. Use it as context for the rest of the recap, not as a standalone signal.
