🌐 REGIME — CORRECTION / DISTRIBUTION

beach-mode — most coils fail here; sit on hands or G/0R only today 78↑ / 11↓ (4%+ day-movers) · 5-bar balance -12 · T2108 48% above 40-d MA

⏫ What moved since last run (2026-10-19)

  • 🆕 NEW setup: $DXC
  • 🌀 new coil: $CRL, $MUR, $ASO, $TREX, $LGND, $ETSY, $AMRX, $RVTY, $HUM, $PARR
  • ➖ dropped out: $DBX, $CNC, $AAMI, $DFIN, $ECPG, $CART, $MTUS, $MRNA

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

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

  • $QLYS (-7.7% from high) — 2G/5R — supply leaving while 8% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $PARR (-6.2% from high) — 5G/5R — supply leaving while 6% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $CRL (-5.4% from high) — 2G/3R — supply leaving while 5% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

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

  • $TREX (-5.7% from high, 3%/day, +14% 3mo) — 5G/0R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 6% off the high
  • $CHEF (-6.4% from high, 3%/day, +18% 3mo) — 5G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 6% off the high
  • $GME (-6.5% from high, 4%/day, +23% 3mo) — 6G/4R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 6% off the high

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

  • $DXC -6.7% 4.4%/day 3mo +55% $ 55M 3G/1R accu MIXED

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

  • $CRL -5.4% 3.6%/day 3mo +44% $ 255M 2G/3R dist DIVERGING
  • $PARR -6.2% 5.3%/day 3mo +7% $ 69M 5G/5R dist DIVERGING
  • $QLYS -7.7% 4.3%/day 3mo +36% $ 117M 2G/5R dist DIVERGING

📚 Pattern lesson — learn by example

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

📈 Cohering Coil — real accumulation — $TREX

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: 5G/0R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 6% off the high

🎭 Fake-Coil — distribution in disguise — $CRL

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/3R — supply leaving while 5% off 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: +188.4 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.
