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

⭐ Worth a real look

  • $RXO (-2.7% from high, 11%/wk, +81% 6mo) — 4G/1R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high; range contracting
  • $CON (-0.3% from high, 5%/wk, +70% 6mo) — 4G/0R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high; range contracting
  • $SPNT (-5.8% from high, 5%/wk, +9% 6mo) — inside-bar trigger cocked at the box top; 3G/1R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 6% off the high; range contracting
  • $CNXN (-1.2% from high, 6%/wk, +49% 6mo) — inside-bar trigger cocked at the box top; 5G/0R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high
  • $EGBN (-3.7% from high, 5%/wk, +6% 6mo) — inside-bar trigger cocked at the box top; 3G/2R net accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high; range contracting
  • $ZD (-6.5% from high, 5%/wk, +29% 6mo) — inside-bar trigger cocked at the box top; 3G/0R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 7% off the high; range contracting

⚠️ Clearest fakes — decisive distribution at the highs

  • $HPE (-0.1% from high) — 1G/2R — supply leaving while glued to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $KEYS (-1.8% from high) — 0G/3R — supply leaving while glued to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $JXN (-7.9% from high) — 2G/2R — supply leaving while 8% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $PLUS (-4.9% from high) — 1G/3R — supply leaving while pressed 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 — $RXO

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; pressed to the high; range contracting

🎭 Fake-Coil — distribution in disguise — $HPE

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/2R — supply leaving while glued to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

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

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: 6G/0R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high
