Why the market looks this way?

Longer-Term Market Trend (Mid to Long Term)

Shows the bigger market trend, how strong it is, and where risks may start to build over the next few weeks or months. — Updated as of 2026-02-06 (ET)

As of 2026-02-06, F is moving sideways with low volatility. Over the longer term, the trend remains bullish.

F last closed at 13.80. The price is about 0.5 ATR above its recent average price (13.66), and the market is currently in a sideways market with low volatility.

Price is moving in a tight range. This often leads to a stronger move once the range breaks, increasing one-sided risk.
