Momentum Turn Watch
Bollinger Squeeze Bollinger band width (9.1%) is in the bottom quartile of its last 120 sessions — Legend's width-percentile squeeze (not a TTM/Keltner squeeze), so volatility is compressed and a sharper move often follows.
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.

Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

VCP bullish forming
75% built

Possible VCP forming — contractions 22% → 7%. Watch for a final tighter contraction with volume drying up, then a move through ~121.99 on strong volume. A break below ~110.61 invalidates the base.

Predictive pattern recognition is educational — most forming structures never confirm. Wait for the confirmation level before treating this as a setup.
