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.
Sample still building: 28 eligible setups in the 2025-03-17–2026-09-04 source-bar window. Rates stay hidden until n=30. Historical and illustrative, not predictive.
