Detected Patterns — What the Market Is Watching
- Deep Base (>33% — elevated failure rate) — depth 59.0%, length 38 weeks, pivot $45.64. Base formed from 2025-11-12 (left-side high) to 2026-08-13, with the low of $18.72 set on 2026-05-13
- Power Play candidate (strong momentum, watching for a tight flag to form)
⚠️ Faulty cup warning: the base is 59.0% 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.
