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

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

  • $XYZ (-6.2% from high) — 1G/5R — supply leaving while 6% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $ETSY (-1.1% from high) — 4G/4R — supply leaving while glued to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $AMN (-7.3% from high) — 2G/6R — supply leaving while 7% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

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

  • $VIRT (-3.5% from high, 4%/day, +26% 3mo) — inside-bar trigger cocked at the box top; 4G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high
  • $SABR (-1.5% from high, 7%/day, +48% 3mo) — 4G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high; range contracting
  • $TFX (-4.6% from high, 3%/day, +4% 3mo) — 9G/5R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high

📚 Pattern lesson — learn by example

📈 Cohering Coil — real accumulation — $VIRT

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: inside-bar trigger cocked at the box top; 4G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high

🎭 Fake-Coil — distribution in disguise — $ETSY

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

🚫 Extended — what we do NOT chase — $SAFT

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: +91.5 ATR above the 200d — -0.0% off high but already extended
