Three Weeks Tight Setup
A Minervini-style tightness signal: three consecutive weekly closes within roughly 1% of each other. It signals strong institutional holding — supply has dried up completely — and can act as a textbook add-on point in an established uptrend.
Historical replay numbers are unavailable because the artifact is stale (source bars are 15 days old). The page does not substitute zeros or older results.
