⚠ Risk Signals
Head & Shoulders Top
Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~925.65 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~777.84. A push back above 983.16 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 1073.46 invalidates it.
Bearish structure on the daily chart — a heads-up for anyone holding, not a short signal. Does not affect the bullish setup score.

A stock can ride a clean trend while its fundamentals lag, so the two often differ by design — they are not the same checklist.
