23:48 UTC
Lower highs, drifting off the NY high · RSI 33 · price 76,316.95
Broad 24h range with a lower-high chain since late NY.
NY session posted the 77057 day high, then swept the 75927 day low before recovering; since then a chain of lower highs has capped rallies and Asia is drifting at 76317 with RSI(14) near 33. Hawkish FOMC dots plus the 196K claims and 37.8 Philly Fed beats keep the macro tone heavy, with the 76412 micro high the immediate cap.
Support: 76,144.14, 75,927.38

Failure to hold the 76144 session low confirms a lower low and reopens the 75927 day low

23:33 UTC
Downtrend on the day, bounce stalling · RSI 41 · price 76,372.89
Lower highs since the NY spike, session low holding.
Lower highs have stacked up since the 77057 print in NY hours, and the Asia session opened by pressing into 76144, the session low, before a ~270-point bounce that stalled at the 76412 bounce high with price back under EMA20 and the 76455 ema50. Hawkish FOMC dot-plot repricing is the only driver in the feed — no BTC-specific catalyst.
Support: 76,144.14, 76,096.20, 75,927.38
Resistance: 76,455.00
What it said to watch
Loss of the 76144 session low re-exposes the 76096 prior low and the 75927 range low
Acceptance above the 76455 ema50 and then the 76610 prior high would break the lower-high chain
Fed's Bowman at 07:30 UTC lands in the Asia-London transition and could reset this intraday range
23:18 UTC
Lower highs since late NY, bounce off session low · RSI 44 · price 76,380.88
24h range 75930-77060, last 8h chain of lower highs and lower lows.
Late NY hours sold the 76610 swing high down to a 76144 session low before a three-bar bounce stalled right into the 76412 ema20, which now caps as resistance. Day is still a 75930-77060 range with hawkish-FOMC drag in the background; RSI(14) at 44 and thin Asia-open liquidity, no clean structure in play.
Support: 76,144.00, 75,927.00
Resistance: 76,412.00, 76,610.00
What it said to watch

23:04 UTC
Downtrend, lower highs since NY open · RSI 39 · price 76,307.96
Range break lower, corrective bounce off session low.
NY topped at 77057 early in the session and never came back — 76877 stands as the last lower high, and the late-session 76400/76660 range broke down into a 76144 session low. Bounce back to 76308 is shallow, price still under EMA20/EMA50 with RSI(14) near 39, consistent with the hawkish post-FOMC dot-plot backdrop weighing on BTC.
Support: 76,144.00, 75,927.00
Resistance: 76,400.00, 76,660.00, 76,877.00

Fed's Bowman 07:30 UTC and US Industrial Production 13:15 UTC could reset this intraday structure
Lower highs from 76965, session low 76144 holding for now.
NY session peaked at 77057 then bled lower in a chain of lower highs, printing a session low at 76144 in the last hour before the current thin post-close bar recovered to 76311. Price is under both EMA20 (~76430) and EMA50 with RSI(14) near 41 — the hawkish FOMC dot path and strong claims/Philly Fed prints keep BTC on the back foot with no crypto-native catalyst.
Support: 76,144.00, 76,096.20, 75,927.40
Resistance: 76,430.00

Fed's Bowman 07:30 UTC and US Industrial Production 13:15 UTC could reset this intraday read
Lower highs since the 77057 spike, now pressing the lower third of the 24h range.
Price has bled steadily since the 76638 session high, slicing the 76418 prior swing and closing at 76165 into the NY-Asia handover with RSI(14) near 33 and price under both EMA20 and EMA50. Series of lower highs from the 76965 NY high remains intact; macro backdrop is the hawkish FOMC dot-plot revision, with no crypto-specific catalyst in the feed.
Support: 76,096.00, 76,000.00, 75,927.00
Resistance: 76,418.00, 76,638.00, 76,965.00
What it said to watch
Loss of the 76096 swing low opens the 76000 round number and the 75927 session low

Price slipped out of the 76390–76660 late-NY range in the final hours of the session, printing a fresh low at 76228 with RSI(14) down to ~34 and price under both EMA20 (76435) and EMA50. Sequence of lower highs from the 76877 prior high has held all evening, consistent with the post-FOMC macro tone after hawkish dots and beats in claims and Philly Fed.

22:04 UTC
Rolling over into late NY, lower highs · RSI 35 · price 76,265.01
Chain of lower highs since the 77057 spike; late-session floor at 76400 broken.
After the 77057 NY spike, BTC has printed a steady chain of lower highs — 76877, 76694, 76638 — and the last two bars snapped the 76400 floor that had held through the final NY hours, with price closing at 76265, just under the 50% retrace of the day's advance near 76330. RSI(14) at ~34 is soft but not extreme; the macro backdrop is the hawkish FOMC dot-plot shift and firm US claims/Philly Fed data keeping high-beta crypto on the defensive.
Support: 76,188.00, 76,069.00
Resistance: 76,400.00, 76,877.00
What it said to watch
Reclaim of the broken floor at 76400 would invalidate the lower-high sequence
Loss of the 76188 swing low confirms continuation and exposes the 76069 session low
Thin early-Asia liquidity can exaggerate moves; Fed's Bowman at 07:30 UTC is the next scheduled risk to this read
Session high at 77057 was rejected at the NY open and each subsequent push has printed a lower high (76965, 76877, 76694), leaving price pinned in a 76372–76694 range with the post-FOMC hawkish dot plot keeping BTC on the back foot. Last four bars are 60-point ranges on collapsing volume — typical post-NY-close drift, price sitting just under EMA20 near the range low.
Support: 76,372.00, 76,240.00, 76,096.00
Resistance: 76,694.00, 76,877.00, 77,057.00
What it said to watch
M15 close below 76372 range low confirms a lower low and exposes 76240 swing low, then the 76096 ny low
Reclaim of 76694 range top would negate the lower-high sequence; 76877 prior high is the next reference above
Thin early-Asia liquidity — single bars can cover the full range; Fed's Bowman 07:30 UTC and US Industrial Production 13:15 UTC are the next scheduled catalysts
Choppy range, lower highs since 17:30 UTC, compressing at range lows.
Post-FOMC chop: the 12:30 UTC push to the 77057 day high was rejected and price has ground out a series of lower highs, the last at 76877 in the NY afternoon. Last six bars are pinned in a 76391–76640 range on thinning late-session activity, with RSI(14) at 42 and price under both EMA20 and EMA50 — hawkish dot-plot repricing still the backdrop, no fresh crypto catalyst.

Asia hours often thin out the range — a break either side on low participation can reverse quickly
Series of lower highs off 77057 day high, price pinned at range base.
NY session printed a 77057 day high at the London-NY transition, then a chain of lower highs (76965, 76877) as post-FOMC dollar firmness and hot US claims/Philly Fed kept BTC on the back foot. Into the late-NY handover price is sitting on the 76390 swing low with the 76620 range top capping every bounce; RSI(14) near 38, ATR(14) about 180 dollars per bar.

Sideways after failed push to 77k, lower highs · RSI 42 · price 76,465.79
Late-NY range 76400–76640 under a chain of lower highs.
The NY-hours spike to the 77057 session high on the strong US claims/Philly Fed prints was fully retraced, and price has spent the last four hours compressing between the 76400 range floor and the 76640 range top with RSI(14) flat near 42. Each attempt higher has printed a lower high — 76965, 76877, 76827, 76638 — with post-FOMC macro tone still capping rallies.

Choppy, no directional edge late NY · RSI 42 · price 76,449.81
Lower highs since 12:30 UTC, now boxed 76400–76660.
The 77057 day high printed early in the NY session and price has carved lower highs since, with rejection at 76877 in the afternoon and a slide back to the 61.8% retracement of the 76096–77057 leg. Late NY is compressing into a 76400–76660 box with price under EMA20 and EMA50 and RSI(14) mid-40s — no structural setup in play.

Sideways, momentum flat after NY fade · RSI 44 · price 76,583.66
Range between 76370 and 76660, mid-range close.
Late NY hours: price is compressing between the 76400 range base and the 76660 range top after the earlier rejection at the 76877 ny high, with the 77057 day high untested since the post-FOMC spike. Higher lows off 76188 have held while lower highs cap the upside, RSI(14) near 43 and the macro read still digesting the hawkish dot-plot revision.

Sideways after a failed push to the day high · RSI 45 · price 76,536.71
Lower highs into a 76370–76880 balance.
The 77057 day high was swept and immediately reversed in the NY morning, with the 75927 flush and recovery leaving price back mid-range; the late-NY tape has drifted into a tight 76370–76880 balance around EMA20. Rejection at 76877 formed the latest of a lower highs sequence, RSI(14) neutral at 45, with the hawkish FOMC dot-plot repricing still the only macro driver in play.

Lower highs since the 77057 spike, holding above 76373.
Late NY hours: price faded from the 77057 window high set during the post-FOMC volatility burst and has printed lower highs since, last 76455.8 with RSI(14) near 42 and trade below EMA20 and EMA50. The 76877 swing high capped the latest push and the 76373 swing low is the nearest shelf, with the 76188 session low beneath it.

Late NY session: the 12:30 UTC spike to the 77057 day high has been followed by a chain of lower highs (76965, then 76877), and price is now compressing in a 76400–76530 band just under the ema20 with RSI(14) at 44. The whole window is macro-driven — the hawkish FOMC dot-plot shift plus beats in claims (196K) and Philly Fed kept the recovery off the 75927 day low capped below 76877.

Sideways, drifting lower off the session high · RSI 38 · price 76,447.81
Lower highs since 76877, mid-range of the day's 76069-77057 band.
Late NY session: price rejected the 76877 session high and has since printed a chain of lower highs, sagging back onto the 50% retracement of the intraday leg near 76450 with RSI(14) around 38. Backdrop stays heavy after the hawkish FOMC dot revision and firm claims/Philly Fed prints; the 77057 day high has not been retested.

Drifting lower, lower highs since the NY spike · RSI 44 · price 76,476.78
Range 76,190–76,880 with a descending sequence of highs.
BTC spiked to a day high of 77,057 in the first hours of NY then unwound into a 76,190–76,880 range, with each subsequent push capped lower (76,965 / 76,877) as the hawkish FOMC dot-plot repricing kept crypto on the back foot. Late-NY bars have slipped back to 76,477, under both EMA20 and EMA50, with RSI(14) mid-40s and ATR(14) near 155 dollars per bar.
What it said to watch
Loss of the 76,372 swing low would extend the lower-high chain toward the 76,188 session low
A 15m close back above the 76,694 swing high neutralises the descending-highs read
Fed's Bowman speech and US Industrial Production Friday are the next macro inputs that could reset this range
The NY session high at 77057 was rejected mid-afternoon and price has since chopped between the 76188 session low and the 76880 prior high, with the last bar closing just under EMA20. RSI(14) near 54 and no expansion in range — hawkish post-FOMC dot-plot repricing remains the macro backdrop but there is no fresh intraday driver.

Higher lows since the post-data flush, capped under 76877.
The 12:30 UTC US data block (claims 196K, Philly Fed 37.8) produced a spike to the 77057 day high that was immediately rejected, followed by a flush to the 75927 day low. Late NY hours have been a grind of higher lows off 76188 and 76486, with supply capping at the 76877 swing high and price coiling in a tight 76485–76700 band.

Choppy, mildly higher lows off the NY low · RSI 57 · price 76,629.61
Consolidation in 76485–76877 after rejection from 77057.
NY session pushed to 77057 then dumped to 75927 before recovering; price has spent the last four hours grinding inside 76485–76877 and is now stalled at the 61.8% retrace of that drop near 76630. Macro backdrop is the post-FOMC hawkish dot path plus today's claims and Philly Fed beats, with no BTC-specific catalyst — hence the range rather than trend.

Range with shallow higher lows under 76,877 supply.
Late-NY hours have price pinned on the EMA20 at ~76,594 with RSI(14) ~53, after the 77,057 day high was rejected mid-session and 75,927 held on the flush. A shallow higher-low chain (76,188 then 76,485) is intact, but supply has capped 76,877 twice; hawkish FOMC dot-plot repricing remains the macro backdrop with no crypto-native catalyst.

Rangebound, two-way chop · RSI 46 · price 76,549.70
76,190-77,060 NY range; short-term higher lows.
NY session has whipsawed: the 12:30 UTC push to 77,057 (day high) failed and price flushed to 75,927 before snapping back. Last three hours built higher lows off 76,190 (ny low) into a rejection at 76,880 (session high), with RSI(14) near 46 and price slipping back under EMA20 as the hawkish FOMC dot-plot repricing keeps BTC on the defensive. ATR(14) ~217 points per bar — wide swings inside the range.

Grinding higher off the NY low, momentum modest · RSI 53 · price 76,802.42
Higher-low chain since 76,188 inside the 24h range top half.
Post-FOMC macro tone stays heavy — hawkish dots plus firm claims (196K) and Philly Fed (37.8) — yet BTC has ground back up through late NY hours, printing a higher-low chain from the 76,188 swing low with the last defended higher low at 76,430. Price is now retesting the 76,890/76,965 session high band after the earlier spike to the 77,057 day high was rejected; RSI(14) mid-range at 53, ATR(14) ~298 USD per bar.
What it said to watch
M15 close above the 76,965 session high would open the path back to the 77,057 day high

Higher lows off 76188 inside the 76190–76965 NY range.
Two-way NY session: the 77057 day high was rejected, price flushed to the 75927 ny open low, then rebuilt higher lows from the 76188 session low back to 76716 near the top of the NY range. Macro stays heavy — hawkish FOMC dots plus beats in claims (196K) and Philly Fed keep rate pressure on BTC — but M15 structure is still range, not trend, with RSI(14) mid-50s.

Choppy, two-way; net higher lows since the NY low · RSI 58 · price 76,665.57
Coiling inside a 76430–76775 range under lower highs.
NY hours produced a 77057 day high, a flush to 75930, then a failed retest at the 76965 session high — the last eight bars are pinned in a 76430–76775 range with RSI(14) neutral near 58. Post-FOMC hawkish-dot digestion is keeping ranges wide (ATR ~283 dollars per bar) but directionless into the late NY session.

Sideways after NY push, momentum flat · RSI 54 · price 76,617.62
Lower highs into rising lows — coil beneath 76965.
NY session tagged 77057 as a session high around midday then rejected, and the tape has since built lower highs at 76965 and 76774 against rising lows off the 75927 NY low — price is coiling in the 76432–76774 band with RSI(14) back to a neutral 54. Backdrop is the hawkish FOMC dot path plus firm claims and Philly Fed, which has kept upside attempts capped rather than extending.

Wide intraday range, lower highs since the session high.
London-NY transition produced a spike to the 77057 session high and an immediate rejection, then a flush to the 75930 ny dip low before a second failure at the 76965 lower high — classic post-FOMC chop as the market digests the upgraded dot plot and today's firm claims/Philly Fed beats. Price now mid-range near 76600 with RSI(14) flat at ~51 and ATR(14) around 317 dollars per bar, so ranges are still wide.

Wide intraday range, lower high after 77057 rejection.
NY session pushed to a session high at 77057 then flushed straight back to 75927 before recovering; the bounce stalled at 76965 for a lower high and price is now parked on the 61.8% fib of that drop near 76625. RSI(14) is flat at 50 with ATR near 326 dollars per bar — post-FOMC digestion of the upgraded dot path rather than a directional leg.

NY range 75927–77057, lower highs since the spike.
The pre-NY push to 77057 was fully retraced into 75927 within the hour — a false break of the Asian range high, with the hawkish FOMC dot-plot shift still the macro backdrop. Price sits mid-range at 76667, above the ema20 at 76545, but the recovery off the ny low stalled at 76775 after supply capped 76965 earlier in the NY leg. RSI(14) back near 48, neutral; ATR is elevated, so intraday swings of several hundred dollars per bar are the norm right now.

Sideways, two-way volatility, no directional control · RSI 47 · price 76,661.57
Wide intraday range; lower highs from the day high, higher low at 76190.
NY session has been pure two-way chop: the push through the London high to 77057 (day high) was rejected and fully unwound into 75930 (ny low), then bid back to 76661, holding just above the EMA20 near 76540. RSI(14) around 47 and lower highs capping at 76965 (session high) leave price mid-range with post-FOMC hawkish dot-plot repricing still driving the volatility rather than any crypto-native catalyst.

Lower highs after failed push at 77057, holding above NY open low.
Pre-NY push tagged the day high at 77057 and was rejected; the NY-session retest at the 76965 session high failed and price slid back to 76344, below both EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) near 47. The 75930 NY open low held on the first flush, leaving a wide 75930–77057 intraday range with the post-FOMC hawkish dot-path repricing keeping rallies capped.

Lower highs from 77,057; fading into session low.
BTC spiked to a session high of 77,057 on the 12:30 UTC US data burst (claims 196K, Philly Fed 37.8, both beats) and immediately sold back, then failed again at 76,965 to leave a lower high and a double top.

NY hours have been a whipsaw: rejection at the 77057 session high, a flush to the 75927 session low, then an equally fast recovery to 76965 before fading back to 76602. Post-FOMC positioning after the upgraded dot plot plus firm claims and Philly Fed keeps BTC volatile without direction — ATR has roughly doubled versus the London range, and RSI(14) sits mid-range near 54.

Higher high after false break of London range low.
London held a 76100–76700 consolidation before a 12:00 UTC breakout to the 77057 day high; the NY open then flushed price to 75927 (ny low) and reversed the whole move in two bars, back to the 76965 session high. RSI(14) near 59 with ATR expanded sharply — the false break below the range lows was fully reclaimed, with the 76600 retest zone now the immediate pivot beneath price.

Pre-NY push tagged 77,057 and was rejected, then the flush into 75,927 was fully reclaimed within two bars — a false break of the NY low, with price now pinned just under the 76,965 session high. Tape stays macro-driven after the hawkish FOMC dots, and today's 196K claims plus 37.8 Philly Fed kept the dollar firm without capping the crypto bounce; RSI(14) mid-50s, ATR(14) ~31,800 pips ($318) per bar.

First hour of NY produced a rejection at the 77,057 session high, then a fast flush to 75,927 that undercut the prior low before being fully reclaimed within two bars — a false break, with price now back at 76,769 under the 76,888 recent high.

NY session printed a session high at 77,057 around 12:30 UTC before a fast flush to 75,927 on the firm US claims (196K) and Philly Fed (37.8) prints, then the entire leg was recovered inside two bars — a false break of the 76,069 swing low.

London pushed through the 76730 asia high to a session high at 77057, then the move was fully unwound into the NY open with a flush to the 75927 session low — a hawkish-Fed tape where BTC has struggled to hold upside extensions. The following bar snapped back to 76613 and price now sits mid-way in the retrace of that NY drop, back inside the Asia range with RSI(14) neutral at 56.

Lower highs since the 77057 spike; last bar closed at the session low area.
NY session pushed through the 76740 swing high to a session high of 77057 and immediately gave it all back — a false break, with price now trading beneath both EMA20 (~76400) and EMA50 and RSI(14) cooling from overbought to 43.7. The unwind is macro-consistent: hot US claims (196K) and Philly Fed (37.8) keep the post-FOMC liquidity headwind on BTC, and the last hour of selling took price back to the 75927 session low area.

Late-London impulse broke the 76100–76500 grind and ran to a session high at 77057, but the move was rejected inside two bars and price has since given back most of it, twice capped at the 76805 prior high.

The advance off the post-FOMC whipsaw low at 75273 has kept higher highs and higher lows intact, with the 76644 swing low the first shelf under spot and the 76393 range mid the deeper one; ATR(14) near 179 dollars frames current M15 bar size.

Price broke the London consolidation top around 76700 into the NY session and spiked to 77057 on the 12:30 GMT US data block before being rejected back under 76912. The pullback has so far held 76645, keeping the breakout base at 76321 untested; RSI(14) near 58 after cooling from the spike, ATR still elevated on the impulse. Macro backdrop is the hawkish post-FOMC dot repricing, which has kept upside attempts short-lived.

London hours produced a clean impulse off the 76100 session low, breaking the prior high at 76730 and printing a session high of 77057 before fading back to 76758. RSI(14) near 58 after the spike, so the move has cooled rather than reversed; the 76730 breakout level is the immediate retest zone with no BTC-specific driver — this is a rates/dollar derivative after the hawkish FOMC dots.

Reclaim and close above the 77057 session high would extend the higher-high chain
Loss of the 76685 prior high on a closing basis puts price back inside the pre-data range
Failure to hold above 76096 session low would invalidate the intraday uptrend read
Pending Home Sales at 14:00 GMT is the next scheduled event inside the NY session
Range base broken; three consecutive higher highs into the US data cluster.
Price spent London chopping between the range base at 76,096 and the 76,700 ceiling before breaking out on the 12:00–12:30 UTC bars into the US claims/Philly Fed cluster, closing at the session high of 77,055. RSI(14) near 70 — hot but not extreme — with ATR(14) around 174 dollars per bar, so the impulse is running above the day's average bar size.
What it said to watch
A pullback into 76,738 that holds keeps the range break intact; a close back below it puts price inside the prior range again
Loss of 76,420 (ema20) would neutralise the breakout read
14:00 UTC Pending Home Sales, plus follow-through from the 12:30 UTC data cluster, can materially reprice this move given the hawkish Fed dot path
12:32 UTC
Uptrend, fresh impulse leg · RSI 65 · price 77,055.14
Higher lows since the 74,902 wick low; last bar prints a new 24h high.
Price broke the 76,738 prior high in the late-London hours and closed at a new 24h high of 77,055, a ~960-point impulse off the 76,096 session low with RSI(14) at 64.5 — hot but not extreme. The move runs against the hawkish post-FOMC dot-plot backdrop and comes directly into the 12:30 UTC US claims/Philly Fed cluster, so it is positioning ahead of data rather than a reaction to it.
What it said to watch
US jobless claims / Philly Fed at 12:30 UTC lands on the next bar and can immediately invalidate this impulse read
A close back below 76,738 prior high would turn the breakout into a false break
Loss of 76,400 range mid returns price to the prior consolidation band
Failure to hold 76,096 session low breaks the higher-low chain
Higher highs / higher lows since the FOMC spike low; range break above the asia high.
Price has fully retraced the hawkish-dot-plot flush from 74902 and, in the last three bars of the London session, broke the 76400 range top and the 76727 asia high to print a session high at 76780. RSI(14) at ~61 with price above both EMA20 and EMA50; 77000 round number is the next reference above, ATR(14) ~170 USD keeps intraday swings wide.

Resistance: 76,780.00, 77,000.00
What it said to watch
US jobless claims / Philly Fed at 12:30 UTC land in the next bar and can void this breakout
A close back below the 76727 asia high would flag a false break of the range top
Loss of 76400 range top returns price inside the London range toward the 76113 session low
Higher lows off the post-FOMC low, range cap cleared.
Price spent Asia and early London coiling between the 76,096 session low and the 76,700 area, then broke through the prior high at 76,727 in the last two bars to print a window high at 76,780 — the strongest impulse since the FOMC bars, where the hawkish dot path first knocked BTC to 74,902 before it was steadily bought back. RSI(14) near 64 with EMA20 and EMA50 beneath price; the 76,400 range mid is the first shelf back inside the prior consolidation.
What it said to watch
US claims / Philly Fed cluster at 12:30 UTC lands within the next bar — expect ATR expansion around the breakout
A close back below the 76,727 prior high would mark the break as a false break
Loss of the 76,400 range mid returns price into the pre-breakout consolidation
Acceptance above the 76,780 window high opens the path to the 77,000 round number
12:00 UTC
Intraday rollover, lower highs since London high · RSI 39 · price 76,156.13
Range 76100-76690 breaking down at the lower edge.
London pushed to a session high of 76685 and was rejected, leaving a chain of lower highs through the London-NY transition; the last bar swept the range floor at 76096 before closing at 76156, below both EMA20 and EMA50. RSI(14) near 39 with ATR(14) around 130 dollars per bar — the hawkish Fed dot-path repricing keeps the recovery off the 74902 spike low capped.
Support: 76,096.00, 76,003.00
Resistance: 76,360.00, 76,510.00, 76,685.00
What it said to watch
US claims / Philly Fed cluster at 12:30 UTC, roughly half an hour out, can reset this range immediately
Sustained trade below the 76096 session low exposes the 76003 prior low
Reclaim of the 76360 ema20 would break the lower-high chain and put 76510 prior high back in play
Double top at 76685/76727, first lower low into NY pre-data.
The post-FOMC rally off 74902 stalled at the 76685 london high, forming a double top with the 76727 Asia peak, and the last two bars have broken the intraday grind lower to a 76096 session low. Hawkish dot-plot repricing keeps the tape offered — RSI(14) near 40 with price back below EMA20 and EMA50.
Support: 76,096.00, 76,003.00
Resistance: 76,336.00, 76,506.00, 76,685.00
What it said to watch

Acceptance below the 76096 session low exposes the 76003 swing low
US Jobless Claims and Philly Fed at 12:30 UTC land inside the next bar period and can reset the intraday range
