Detected Patterns — What the Market Is Watching
- Deep Base (>33% — elevated failure rate) — depth 64.9%, length 41 weeks, pivot $336.27. Base formed from 2025-11-03 (left-side high) to 2026-09-01, with the low of $118.05 set on 2026-04-10
- Bull Flag after a 34.7% run, currently 5.4% off the flag high
⚠️ Faulty cup warning: the base is 64.9% 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.
