## Value area 80% rule
The 80% rule uses yesterday's value area to predict Nasdaq futures moves.
## How it works
Take yesterday's value area. Today opens outside it. Price then trades back inside for two 30-minute periods.
## Data from 21 sessions
16 of 21 sessions opened outside the prior value area. Only 5 gave the trigger.
## 3 worked this month
3 of 5 setups reached the other side of yesterday's value area in the same session.
## Example 1: Friday 16 Oct
Friday opened above Thursday's value area. Price closed inside two periods and reached Thursday's value low.
## Example 2: Tuesday 20 Oct
Tuesday opened below Monday's value area. Price closed inside two periods but never reached Monday's value high.
## Key takeaway

Three of five Nasdaq futures setups using the value area 80% rule worked this month.
