⚠ Risk Signals
Head & Shoulders Top
Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~115.22 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~88.48. A push back above 139.45 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 141.96 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.
