⏫ What moved since last run (2026-09-01)

  • 🚀 BROKE OUT (setup→fresh): $HP, $HPQ, $CNH
  • 🆕 NEW setup: $PJT
  • 🌀 new coil: $PARR, $SLB, $CRM, $XYZ, $INVX, $HCC, $BFH, $NEM, $BBY, $OKTA, $FCX
  • ➖ dropped out: $VIRT, $CHRD, $CXW, $NPK, $FTNT

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

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

  • $XYZ (-5.1% from high) — 3G/5R — supply leaving while 5% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $BFH (-7.0% from high) — 0G/4R — supply leaving while 7% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $BBY (-4.7% from high) — 6G/7R — supply leaving while pressed to the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit
  • $ETSY (-7.1% from high) — 4G/4R — supply leaving while 7% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

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

  • $CART (-1.0% from high, 3%/day, +29% 3mo) — 4G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high; range contracting
  • $TFX (-2.8% from high, 3%/day, +10% 3mo) — 9G/6R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; pressed to the high; range contracting
  • $CF (-1.9% from high, 4%/day, +19% 3mo) — 5G/0R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high

📈 Cohering Coil — real accumulation — $CART

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: 4G/2R decisive accumulation under a flat tape; glued to the high; range contracting

🎭 Fake-Coil — distribution in disguise — $XYZ

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 5% off the high; structure says coil, commitment says exit

🚫 Extended — what we do NOT chase — $HZO

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: +146.3 ATR above the 200d — -0.7% off high but already extended
