🚦 Gate — CONFIRMED UPTREND

Full hunt — wind at the back. ⭐ longs lead; the gate is open. ⚖️ Breadth divergence: NEGATIVE — generals making highs the army isn’t confirming; leadership narrowing. Longs tightened to decisive-only. regime gate suppressed 11 cohering coil(s) that weren’t decisive enough for this tape.

⭐ Worth a real look

  • $CENTA (-2.5% from high, 4%/day, +16% 3mo) — 7G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high
  • $OPLN (-5.2% from high, 3%/day, +32% 3mo) — 3G/1R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 5% off the high; range contracting

📚 Pattern lesson — learn by example

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

📈 Cohering Coil — real accumulation — $CENTA

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/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high

🎭 Fake-Coil — distribution in disguise — $INSW

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: 3G/5R — supply leaving while pressed to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

🚫 Extended — what we do NOT chase — $CPRX

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: +156.1 ATR above the 200d — -3.3% off high but already extended
