  • ⬆️ GRADUATED coil→setup: $CDW, $DFIN, $FTRE, $SHOP, $FDS, $MATX, $AAMI

  • ➖ dropped out: $MORN, $LLY, $SBH, $RNG

🚦 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)

  • $QLYS (-7.8% from high) — 3G/5R — supply leaving while 8% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

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

  • $MRNA (-6.4% from high, 8%/day, +280% 3mo) — inside-bar trigger cocked at the box top; 5G/3R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 6% off the high
  • $CHEF (-6.1% from high, 3%/day, +17% 3mo) — 5G/3R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 6% off the high
  • $GME (-6.6% from high, 4%/day, +21% 3mo) — 6G/4R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 7% off the high

📈 Cohering Coil — real accumulation — $MRNA

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; 5G/3R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 6% off the high

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

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: 4G/0R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high

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