Detected Patterns — What the Market Is Watching
- Deep Base (>33% — elevated failure rate) — depth 46.7%, length 40 weeks, pivot $179.01. Base formed from 2025-10-29 (left-side high) to 2026-08-19, with the low of $95.4 set on 2026-05-13
- Bull Flag after a 41.5% run, currently 7.5% off the flag high
⚠️ Faulty cup warning: the base is 46.7% 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.
