3. The market warning

Elyatta — 04:25 Naas
2/1 → 9/2 · -15.15pp

Largest drift recorded across 4 previous 10am market snapshots.

Historical percentile: 100th.

A drift is not automatically a lay. The point is whether today's weakness resembles the markets in which this horse has previously failed — or whether it has historically ignored market weakness.
