⏫ What moved since last run (2026-10-09)

  • ⬆️ GRADUATED coil→setup: $VIR, $PBF, $KNTK
  • 🌀 new coil: $QLYS, $ECPG, $TALO, $CHEF, $LGND, $PARR
  • ➖ dropped out: $LPG, $AAMI, $MD, $LITE, $SMTC, $TWLO, $OSCR, $WCC, $PRLB, $HRMY

🚦 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 4 cohering coil(s) that weren’t decisive enough for this tape.

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

  • $VIR (-5.8% from high) — 4G/6R — supply leaving while 6% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $KNTK (-4.2% from high) — 1G/6R — supply leaving while pressed to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $DOCU (-5.4% from high) — 1G/3R — supply leaving while 5% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $HOG (-5.2% from high) — 5G/7R — supply leaving while 5% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

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

  • $GME (-0.1% from high, 3%/day, +21% 3mo) — 8G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high

🎯 SETUP — act-ready (inside bar pressed to box top)

⚠️ DIVERGING — fake-coil risk (the don’t-buy list)

📚 Pattern lesson — learn by example

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

📈 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: 8G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high

🎭 Fake-Coil — distribution in disguise — $VIR

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: 4G/6R — supply leaving while 6% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

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

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; 1G/2R net accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high
