Detected Patterns — What the Market Is Watching
- Deep Base (>33% — elevated failure rate) — depth 39.2%, length 50 weeks, pivot $612.17. Base formed from 2025-08-28 (left-side high) to 2026-08-25, with the low of $372.33 set on 2026-07-30
⚠️ Faulty cup warning: the base is 39.2% 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.
