Detected Patterns — What the Market Is Watching

  • Deep Base (>33% — elevated failure rate) — depth 38.2%, length 27 weeks, pivot $18.76. Base formed from 2026-01-28 (left-side high) to 2026-08-12, with the low of $11.6 set on 2026-06-08

⚠️ Faulty cup warning: the base is 38.2% deep (above the 38–40% threshold). A correction this deep leaves heavy overhead supply — trapped holders from higher prices are likely to sell into any rally, raising the failure rate of a breakout from this base.
