🚦 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 (-3.9% from high) — 2G/4R — supply leaving while pressed to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $RELY (-2.2% from high) — 2G/5R — supply leaving while pressed to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $HPQ (-5.2% from high) — 3G/3R — supply leaving while 5% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $TDW (-5.0% from high) — 2G/4R — supply leaving while 5% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

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

  • $SABR (-4.1% from high, 7%/day, +25% 3mo) — inside-bar trigger cocked at the box top; 4G/1R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high; range contracting
  • $CART (-2.9% from high, 3%/day, +27% 3mo) — 4G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high; range contracting
  • $VIRT (-3.4% from high, 4%/day, +32% 3mo) — 4G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high

📈 Cohering Coil — real accumulation — $SABR

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: inside-bar trigger cocked at the box top; 4G/1R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high; range contracting

🎭 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

🎯 Inside-Bar Setup — the cocked trigger — $NOV

An inside bar pressed to the box top = a defined buy-stop trigger with the stop right below. You’re early AND you have an exact level — the highest-value pre-obvious state. This name: inside-bar trigger cocked at the box top; 6G/1R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high
