Full hunt — wind at the back. ⭐ longs lead; the gate is open. ⚖️ Breadth divergence: POSITIVE — selling exhausting under a lower-low price; turn may be near. Watch the ⭐ coils.

⭐ Worth a real look

  • $WEX (-1.7% from high, 3%/day, +35% 3mo) — 4G/1R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high; range contracting
  • $NEO (-2.3% from high, 4%/day, +91% 3mo) — inside-bar trigger cocked at the box top; 2G/1R net accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high; very tight box; range contracting
  • $DXCM (-0.0% from high, 4%/day, +51% 3mo) — 4G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high; range contracting
  • $XNCR (-0.5% from high, 6%/day, +73% 3mo) — 6G/3R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high
  • $THC (-2.2% from high, 4%/day, +35% 3mo) — 3G/0R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high; range contracting
  • $OII (-6.0% from high, 4%/day, +34% 3mo) — 3G/2R net accumulation under a flat tape; 6% off the high; range contracting

⚠️ Clearest fakes — decisive distribution at the highs

  • $NOV (-2.5% from high) — 3G/4R — supply leaving while pressed to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $CNC (-6.5% from high) — 5G/6R — supply leaving while 6% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $RHI (-4.6% from high) — 3G/5R — supply leaving while pressed to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $OMC (-1.7% from high) — 2G/4R — supply leaving while glued to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

📚 Pattern lesson — learn by example

one clean live instance of each archetype; charts saved to the Pattern Guide Plates library

📈 Cohering Coil — real accumulation — $WEX

Tight box pressed to the high with green caps dominating: institutions buying INTO the pause. Structure (coil) and commitment (caps) AGREE → the roof is being validated. This name: 4G/1R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high; range contracting

🎭 Fake-Coil — distribution in disguise — $NOV

Looks identical to a real coil on price — tight, near the high — but the caps under it are RED. Supply leaving while price hovers. Structure says coil, commitment says exit. The trap. This name: 3G/4R — supply leaving while pressed to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

⚖️ Decisive vs Thin — why the count matters — $RVTY

A lopsided tally (e.g. 7G/0R) is decisive commitment; a 2G/2R or 1G/1R is NO read — not enough committed flow to validate either way. Trust decisive, skip thin. This name: 9G/1R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high
