🚦 Gate — CONFIRMED UPTREND

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

⭐ Worth a real look

  • $TFIN (-2.2% from high, 3%/day, +18% 3mo) — 7G/4R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high
  • $AIR (-3.6% from high, 3%/day, +16% 3mo) — 8G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high
  • $CENTA (-4.3% from high, 3%/day, +10% 3mo) — 4G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high
  • $DBD (-1.0% from high, 3%/day, +1% 3mo) — 5G/3R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high
  • $PENN (-5.1% from high, 4%/day, +34% 3mo) — 3G/2R net accumulation under a flat tape; 5% off the high
  • $KTB (-4.1% from high, 4%/day, +9% 3mo) — inside-bar trigger cocked at the box top; 4G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high

⚠️ Clearest fakes — decisive distribution at the highs

  • $THRM (-7.2% from high) — 3G/5R — supply leaving while 7% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

  • $IRM (-6.8% from high) — 3G/7R — supply leaving while 7% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $ATI (-3.9% from high) — 3G/3R — supply leaving while pressed 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: 7G/4R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed 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 pressed to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

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

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: 8G/2R 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.
