News is a skip

Module 29 already put four release days into your plan as days off. This is why that rule belongs here rather than on its own.

The reason is the bias

On a release day the reading you did at 08:00 still describes the chart. It stops describing what is moving price.

Structure, levels and zones are all built from orders placed before the release. In the minutes around it, the orders arriving have no relationship to any of them.

A bias built from the chart cannot govern a move the chart did not produce.

So it is not a separate rule

Skipping a release is the same decision as skipping a day where the charts disagree.
