FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the trend of SAM?

Historically, when SAM was in the Bull Critical zone, the market moved up to a higher zone 35.5% of the time and down to a lower zone 64.5% of the time (across 203 observations).

Where is the market within its current zone?

The Bull Critical zone spans 60% to 74.5%. The market is at 60.29%, 14.21 points from the upper bound and 0.29 points from the lower bound — closer to the lower bound of the zone.

How are these statistics calculated?

Each closed candle carries an energy state. A transition is counted when the next candle carries a DIFFERENT state; moving up means a higher-energy zone, moving down a lower one. Percentages are frequencies observed across the full sample.

Where does the data come from and how many candles?

The sample contains 3,640 candles from 2012-03-21 to 2026-10-22, computed with 2AiTrading's proprietary Market Energy model. Data is captured at candle close and locked immutable over time to keep the statistics stable.

Are these numbers a prediction?

No. These are historical frequencies describing SAM's past behavior — not future probabilities and not buy/sell advice. Investors should combine them with their own trading method and do full research before applying.

What are the 7 market energy states?

Market Energy measures the market on a -100% to +100% scale, split into 7 zones from Bear Extreme to Bull Extreme; every closed candle belongs to exactly one zone.
