What the atr expansion up is
After a very calm stretch, one big candle broke above the recent range. Calm often comes before a storm.
Think of the quiet before a thunderstorm: the air goes still, then a sudden gust arrives. ATR measures how big candles have been lately, so a very low ATR means the market has gone quiet. An ATR expansion up is when, after that calm, one big green candle bursts above the recent range.
