Over the last 30 days, 10 setups resolved under the model's rules. R is the distance between the reference entry and the model's stop level. Across those 10 outcomes, the combined hypothetical model-tracked outcome was -0.06 R.

The 30-day breakdown was:

• 2 reached their target.
• 3 delivered a partial outcome.
• 0 resolved at breakeven.
• 5 resolved at the model's stop level.
• 0 are in progress.
• 27 were invalidated before becoming active within the 14-day invalidation window.
• 20 expired without becoming active.

How Znorva AI reads this market

Znorva AI starts with a liquidity sweep at a reference level. A reclaim needs 2 completed closes back beyond that level. If that condition appears, the model tracks up to 3 targets and records outcomes across 7-day and 30-day windows.

The same framework appears in Znorva's AI forex analysis and its EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and XAU/USD recap. For gold now, the latest structural point is the 1H sweep of 4106.88. Because the reclaim condition has not appeared yet, that event remains unresolved under the method.
