Momentum Turn Watch
Daily Oversold Pullback Williams %R(14) touched -97 2 session(s) ago after a 18% pullback from the 6-month high ($649.42). Price is holding just above the $521.09 support shelf (a prior swing high turned support), with the weekly uptrend intact (30-week SMA $477.56 and not falling).
Early technical context only. Wait for price, volume, and the canonical setup trigger to confirm; this signal does not change readiness or the setup score.

What would change this verdict

What needs to turn for this to become buyable — the top failing checks across the legend council:

  • Minervini 1.5 Price > 50-day MA — Price $531.28 vs MA50 $542.62
  • Minervini 2. Quarterly EPS growth ≥ 25% — +21.2% QoQ
  • O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — +21.2% QoQ
  • O'Neil N: Near 52-week high or RS line new high — 19.3% below high | RS line new high: False
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.84x
  • Weinstein 30-week MA trending upward
Minority view — the council disagrees here
  • Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails Price > 50-day MA.
  • O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25%.
  • Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 2 supporting checks need improvement.
65 Neutral
Legend Score · rates the stock Neutral (65/100) — held back by eps growth

Our proprietary 0-100 rating — the answer to Wall Street's black-box scores. Five pillars, each computed from real scan data, each explained below in plain English.

  • Relative Strength (25%) 97
  • Trend Template (25%) 88
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 37
  • EPS Growth (15%) 30
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 44

RS rank 96: top 4% of all stocks — true leadership. Trend template 7/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 37: mild distribution — sellers active. EPS up +0% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 44: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 40, leverage 100). Updated 2026-10-27.

Legend Verdicts 6 methodology checks

Who would consider this setup, why it qualifies, and what blocks it — calculated from the same deterministic methodology rules used across Legend AI.
How to read the numbers: the setup score (0/100, in the verdict band) rates this trade setup. Each legend's A–D grade rates the same setup against that legend's own checklist — so a high score next to a C grade is not a contradiction. The setup can be strong without fitting that legend's style. When the council disagrees, the verdict band breaks the tie.

Council consensus: 6 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.
