⏫ What moved since last run (2026-08-26)

  • ⚠️ FLIPPED cohering→diverging (early distribution warning): $HPQ (3G/3R), $TFX (3G/4R), $NHC (0G/1R)
  • ⬆️ GRADUATED coil→setup: $ARWR, $CVI, $GH, $RELY
  • 🌀 new coil: $TWLO, $XYZ, $FRO, $INSW, $DXPE, $PTEN, $TDW, $FCFS, $PATH, $PRGS, $OII, $AMN, $GEN, $APA, $LPG, $FLR, $FCX, $QLYS, $CHRD
  • ➖ dropped out: $EAT, $URBN, $CNC, $OSCR, $SBH, $PBF, $ANF

🚦 Gate — CORRECTION / DISTRIBUTION

Beach-mode — longs HEAVILY suppressed: only the most decisive G/0R survive, and even those swim against the tide. Most coils FAIL here. Learn/watch tape, not a buy tape. regime gate suppressed 12 cohering coil(s) that weren’t decisive enough for this tape.

⚠️ Clearest fakes — decisive distribution at the highs (lead this regime)

  • $XYZ (-2.4% from high) — 2G/4R — supply leaving while pressed to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $SW (-7.6% from high) — 2G/4R — supply leaving while 8% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $PATH (-7.6% from high) — 2G/2R — supply leaving while 8% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $HPQ (-8.0% from high) — 3G/3R — supply leaving while 8% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

⭐ Worth a real look (secondary — fakes lead this regime)

  • $BOX (-0.6% from high, 3%/day, +38% 3mo) — 5G/3R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high
  • $GEN (-1.4% from high, 3%/day, +24% 3mo) — 11G/0R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high
  • $CART (-3.0% from high, 3%/day, +26% 3mo) — 4G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high; range contracting

📈 Cohering Coil — real accumulation — $BOX

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: 5G/3R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high

🎭 Fake-Coil — distribution in disguise — $XYZ

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: 2G/4R — supply leaving while pressed to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

🚫 Extended — what we do NOT chase — $ITGR

Already ran far from the 40-MA (high ATR-extension): the obvious move everyone sees, edge gone, prone to the pullback. We surface the pre-obvious coil, not this. This name: +100.5 ATR above the 200d — -0.7% off high but already extended
