Detected Patterns — What the Market Is Watching
- Deep Base (>33% — elevated failure rate) — depth 66.6%, length 45 weeks, pivot $409.83. Base formed from 2025-10-13 (left-side high) to 2026-09-04, with the low of $136.68 set on 2026-06-25
- Bear Flag below the 50-day moving average
⚠️ Faulty cup warning: the base is 66.6% 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.
