Stage 3 (Topping) — Price churning around the 30-week MA — topping consolidation (30-week MA 6-week slope: -4.65%)

⚠️ Faulty cup warning: the base is 59.8% 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.
