Overall sentiment is neutral-to-cautious, with no VCP detected and a bearish tilt from the failed base, suggesting a wait-and-see approach.

Detected Patterns — What the Market Is Watching
- Deep Base (>33% — elevated failure rate) — depth 54.6%, length 46 weeks, pivot $247.69. Base formed from 2025-09-29 (left-side high) to 2026-08-25, with the low of $112.5 set on 2026-04-10
- Power Play candidate (strong momentum, watching for a tight flag to form)
- Bull Flag after a 61.5% run, currently 5.8% off the flag high
⚠️ Faulty cup warning: the base is 54.6% 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.
