Stage Analysis

Stage 4 (Declining) — Price below a declining 30-week MA — downtrend (30-week MA 6-week slope: -2.31%)

Detected Patterns — What the Market Is Watching

  • Deep Base (>33% — elevated failure rate) — depth 75.1%, length 11 weeks, pivot $45.7. Base formed from 2026-05-28 (left-side high) to 2026-08-13, with the low of $11.39 set on 2026-07-29
  • Price contractions present (39.0% → 37.2%) but 20-day volume is still 86.3% of the 50-day average — needs ≤60% to qualify as a confirmed VCP
  • Power Play / High Tight Flag — one of the most powerful momentum setups

⚠️ Faulty cup warning: the base is 75.1% 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.
