The easiest/simplest explanation can be seen on MONTHLY charts...
NQ did not take out the 2019 low in early 2020.
This makes NQ "different" from ES and YM, and RTY too.
RTY however, has been in a bear market for nearly 2 years,
which makes it "different" than ES, YM, and NQ.
The dollar is also an input.
I'd prefer a move of extended duration, as opposed to only a handful of trading sessions...
It makes chart analysis a lot easier for me!
I hope that throws some light on what I see, at least partially.
