Model-tracked outcomes this week

Model-tracked outcomes are hypothetical analytical results, not executed trades or customer results. Znorva does not execute trades.

Across the model’s 7-day window, 9 setups resolved under the model’s rules. Net outcome was 1.74 R. R is the distance between the reference entry and the model’s stop level (1 R). You can review the rule set on the methodology page.

Of those 9 resolved setups, 2 had a target reached outcome, 3 had a partial outcome, 0 resolved at breakeven, and 4 resolved at the model’s stop level. The model still tracks 2 setups as in progress. Outside those resolved results, 62 were invalidated before becoming active and 51 expired without becoming active.

Recent examples show the mix across markets and timeframes:

• BTC/USDT, 1H, short-side scenario: became active at a reference price of 82,687.9 on 10 October 2026 and resolved at the model’s stop level on 11 October 2026 for -1 R.
• XAU/USD, 15m, long-side scenario: became active at a reference price of 4,114.55 on 7 October 2026 and resolved with a target reached outcome on 9 October 2026 for 1.21 R.
• EUR/USD, 1H, long-side scenario: became active at a reference price of 1.12 on 8 October 2026 and resolved with a partial outcome on 8 October 2026 for 0.19 R.

Nearest reference levels for next week

Each distance below is measured from that market’s latest daily close. In this framework, a reclaim means 2 completed closes back beyond the level. The multi-timeframe reading explains why a 1D level and a 4H level can shape price differently.

• Bitcoin: previous month high on 1D at 87,395.67; 4.32% above.
• Ethereum: previous month low on 1D at 2,356.41; 7.12% below.
• Gold: previous week low on 4H at 4,061.73; 3.16% below.
• EUR/USD: previous month high on 1D at 1.16538; 4.03% above.
