Weekly Open explained
The Weekly Open is the opening price of the current exchange weekly candle. It provides a broader reference than the Daily Open.
How it works
After the weekly candle begins, its opening price remains the reference throughout that exchange candle. Price or a supported price-like line can cross it.

Price above the Weekly Open is often read as stronger weekly positioning, while price below it can be read as weaker positioning. It remains context rather than a forecast.
What it can be useful for

- multi-timeframe conditions
- filtering lower-timeframe alerts
