Source, calculation and limitations
Source: OANDA:XAUUSD candles received through TradingView. Range is high minus low. The last candle is compared with the mean range of the preceding 20 completed sessions, or the available smaller sample. The current candle is excluded from that mean. Completion requires a following candle, so this table can lag one session while the market is closed. Candle snapshots refresh every five minutes; the quote above remains live. Session labels use Cairo time and may differ from your broker's trading-day labels.

How to use this record
Compare sessions instead of relying on one number.
Use adjacent dates to compare ranges and closing location, then consult analyses and news for context. This historical record is educational data, not a buy or sell instruction.
How do you interpret the move, beyond the quote?
Moving outside yesterday's range alone does not establish a trend reversal. Check the close and the sequence of highs and lows in the gold market-structure guide.
A macroeconomic explanation requires a documented event and release time; a daily candle cannot establish it alone. See the released-news archive.
How does a gold move differ from trade risk?
Under AlQANAAS's convention, a $5 move equals 50 points. Monetary risk still depends on position size, broker specifications and execution costs. Understand gold points and risk sizing.
