Detected Patterns — What the Market Is Watching
- Deep Base (>33% — elevated failure rate) — depth 57.3%, length 43 weeks, pivot $152.46. Base formed from 2025-10-09 (left-side high) to 2026-08-14, with the low of $65.16 set on 2026-03-30
⚠️ Faulty cup warning: the base is 57.3% 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.
