CRCL daily stock chart with 10, 20, 50, 150 and 200-day moving averages, volume and RS line versus SPY, Stage 1→2 (Basing / Early Advance), as of August 30, 2026 at 18:13 — CANSLIM Research

CRCL is forming a Stage 1→2 basing pattern, with the 30-week MA flattening and price holding above it after a deep 44-week base that carved out a 66.6% correction from its high. The market is focused on the stock’s inability to complete a proper VCP contraction sequence, as volume has not dried up and pullbacks remain erratic. Overall sentiment is neutral, with the faulty deep-base structure and missing trend-template checks suggesting traders should wait for a cleaner breakout above the 150.48 pivot.
