🚦 Gate — CONFIRMED UPTREND

Full hunt — wind at the back. ⭐ longs lead; the gate is open.

⭐ Worth a real look

  • $TALO (-0.9% from high, 3%/day, +36% 3mo) — 7G/3R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high
  • $TREX (-3.0% from high, 3%/day, +13% 3mo) — inside-bar trigger cocked at the box top; 5G/0R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high
  • $MEDP (-1.1% from high, 3%/day, +19% 3mo) — 4G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high
  • $FIVN (-5.6% from high, 5%/day, +39% 3mo) — 5G/1R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 6% off the high
  • $FTRE (-4.0% from high, 5%/day, +15% 3mo) — 3G/2R net accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high
  • $DFIN (-3.8% from high, 3%/day, +3% 3mo) — 5G/0R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high

⚠️ Clearest fakes — decisive distribution at the highs

  • $OKTA (-6.4% from high) — 1G/3R — supply leaving while 6% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $SBH (-2.7% from high) — 4G/5R — supply leaving while pressed to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $COKE (-5.0% from high) — 2G/3R — supply leaving while pressed to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $LPG (-8.0% from high) — 1G/2R — supply leaving while 8% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

📈 Cohering Coil — real accumulation — $TALO

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: 7G/3R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high

🎭 Fake-Coil — distribution in disguise — $SBH

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/5R — supply leaving while pressed to 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: +180.5 ATR above the 200d — -0.2% 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.
