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

⭐ Worth a real look

  • $TFIN (-0.0% from high, 3%/day, +27% 3mo) — 8G/4R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high
  • $CENTA (-4.3% from high, 4%/day, +13% 3mo) — 6G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high
  • $CHEF (-5.6% from high, 3%/day, +54% 3mo) — 6G/3R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 6% off the high
  • $INDV (-5.3% from high, 4%/day, +29% 3mo) — 4G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 5% off the high

  • $PRSU (-6.0% from high, 3%/day, +30% 3mo) — 6G/4R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; 6% off the high

⚠️ Clearest fakes — decisive distribution at the highs

  • $HWM (-6.3% from high) — 3G/5R — supply leaving while 6% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $CASY (-7.4% from high) — 2G/4R — supply leaving while 7% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $INSW (-6.4% from high) — 3G/5R — supply leaving while 6% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $PTGX (-0.1% from high) — 3G/4R — supply leaving while glued 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 — $TFIN

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: 8G/4R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high

🎭 Fake-Coil — distribution in disguise — $PTGX

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/4R — supply leaving while glued to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

🎯 Inside-Bar Setup — the cocked trigger — $IART

An inside bar pressed to the box top = a defined buy-stop trigger with the stop right below. You’re early AND you have an exact level — the highest-value pre-obvious state. This name: inside-bar trigger cocked at the box top; 3G/2R net 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.
