Descending Triangle Setup
Falling resistance pressing down into flat support — sellers keep lowering their asking price while buyers defend the same line. When this coil forms inside an uptrend and squeezes into the 200-day moving average, it's a continuation setup: the uptrend is pausing, not reversing.
Performance stats refresh with the next scan — nothing to show right now. We never substitute zeros or out-of-date results, so this space stays quiet until fresh numbers are ready.
