🚦 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

  • $CON (-2.7% from high, 6%/wk, +69% 6mo) — 4G/0R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high
  • $WAT (-3.9% from high, 6%/wk, +33% 6mo) — inside-bar trigger cocked at the box top; 5G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high
  • $EGBN (-3.2% from high, 5%/wk, +1% 6mo) — 3G/2R net accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high; very tight box; range contracting
  • $BJ (-2.9% from high, 6%/wk, +12% 6mo) — 5G/1R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high
  • $PRSU (-2.7% from high, 6%/wk, +33% 6mo) — 4G/0R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high; range contracting
  • $RXO (-4.3% from high, 11%/wk, +53% 6mo) — 4G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high; range contracting

⚠️ Clearest fakes — decisive distribution at the highs

  • $FANG (-6.0% from high) — 2G/2R — supply leaving while 6% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $ADM (-6.9% from high) — 1G/3R — supply leaving while 7% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $AAMI (-6.5% from high) — 2G/2R — supply leaving while 6% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $SM (-5.0% from high) — 1G/2R — 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 — $CON

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/0R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high

🎭 Fake-Coil — distribution in disguise — $FANG

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/2R — supply leaving while 6% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

🚫 Extended — what we do NOT chase — $OGN

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: +27.2 ATR above the 40wk — -0.5% off high but already extended
