Detected Patterns — What the Market Is Watching
- Deep Base (>33% — elevated failure rate) — depth 65.7%, length 13 weeks, pivot $223.1. Base formed from 2026-05-13 (left-side high) to 2026-08-14, with the low of $76.52 set on 2026-07-29
- Power Play / High Tight Flag — one of the most powerful momentum setups
⚠️ Faulty cup warning: the base is 65.7% 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.
