  • ⬆️ GRADUATED coil→setup: $PARR, $OSCR
  • 🌀 new coil: $DOCU, $AMN, $QLYS, $UFCS, $NPK, $CNK, $GME, $CTVA
  • ➖ dropped out: $RVTY, $COHU, $INSW, $PBF, $AVT, $FRO, $ARW, $CBRL, $APA, $WCC, $SBH

🚦 Gate — WASHOUT / OVERSOLD

Capitulation — these coils are TURN-WATCH, not chase-now. Size small, let the regime flip green before leaning in.

⭐ Worth a real look

  • $CTVA (-6.0% from high, 3%/day, +7% 3mo) — 2G/1R net accumulation under a flat tape; 6% off the high; range contracting
  • $SIG (-3.9% from high, 3%/day, +26% 3mo) — 3G/2R net accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high; range contracting
  • $GME (-6.0% from high, 3%/day, +17% 3mo) — 9G/3R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 6% off the high; range contracting
  • $MRNA (-7.2% from high, 7%/day, +189% 3mo) — 5G/3R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 7% off the high
  • $SMTC (-7.2% from high, 6%/day, +38% 3mo) — 4G/4R net accumulation under a flat tape; 7% off the high
  • $LITE (-7.8% from high, 6%/day, +31% 3mo) — 2G/1R net accumulation under a flat tape; 8% off the high; range contracting

⚠️ Clearest fakes — decisive distribution at the highs

  • $VIR (-6.9% from high) — 4G/7R — supply leaving while 7% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $KNTK (-4.4% from high) — 1G/6R — supply leaving while pressed to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $DOCU (-4.8% from high) — 1G/3R — supply leaving while pressed to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $HOG (-7.3% from high) — 5G/7R — supply leaving while 7% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

📈 Cohering Coil — real accumulation — $GME

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: 9G/3R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 6% off the high; range contracting

🎭 Fake-Coil — distribution in disguise — $KNTK

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: 1G/6R — 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: +182.1 ATR above the 200d — -0.1% off high but already extended

aG/bR = green vs red caps in the box (commitment). COHERING = structure + commitment agree · DIVERGING = distribution under a coil near highs.
