08:30 HOLD
On the 08:30 watch list and still at or above its 08:30 price after the open.
Definition
A name on the 08:30 watch list that is still at or above its 08:30 price once trading opens. The brain checks every 08:30 name against that one price on closed one-minute bars, from 09:30 to 09:39. It judges the call at 09:40.
Not this
A name gapped up before the open and then traded under its 08:30 price at 09:40. That name is not an 08:30 hold, however strong its news was.
Evidence checklist
What must be visible on the record before this shape is named. Find each item on an example below.

- At 09:40 the price is at or above that 08:30 price.
- At least eight of the ten opening minutes were recorded.
- The opening low gives a level that proves the idea wrong.

Study cues
Not available: no producer publishes per-condition observations with a timestamp and a source yet.
When one exists, a cue reads like this:
08:30 HOLD study candidate: 3 of 5 documented conditions present.
Every condition shows its timestamp, its source, and an unknown state when missing. A cue describes; it never directs.
Reading this page comes first. A cue can only be followed from its definition, and can be paused or deleted.
