Detected Patterns — What the Market Is Watching
- Deep Base (>33% — elevated failure rate) — depth 46.9%, length 41 weeks, pivot $275.67. Base formed from 2025-10-21 (left-side high) to 2026-08-14, with the low of $146.38 set on 2026-07-23
- Bull Flag after a 43.2% run, currently 0.8% off the flag high
⚠️ Faulty cup warning: the base is 46.9% 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.
