FADE HOLD
The opening gap fades, then the slide stops and the price builds a floor.
Formula
MEASUREDGaps up at least 5% and is below the open at 09:35.
Gap; one read at 09:35 against the open; VWAP position; 5-day same-time demand. Never a long call.

Definition
The name gaps at the open and gives part of it back. Then the slide stops and the price holds a level it made itself. That floor did not exist before the session; the price built it.
Not this
A gap that fades all the way and keeps sliding never builds a floor, so it is not a fade hold.

A question to hold
Compare the gap into the turn with the entry-vs-range fact. Where did the price sit after the fade?

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:
FADE 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.
