The timing of a level being reached may affect the behavior that follows.
A fast move off the open can represent a different intraday condition than a level reached later in the session after more rotation has occurred.
Research principle:
speed can be part of the definition, not merely an observation after the fact.
Why This Matters
Treating every level reach as identical may hide important differences in behavior. Time-to-reach, opening drive, and early session expansion can all affect the condition being studied.
The framework allows those distinctions to be measured instead of generalized away.
