⚠ Risk Signals

Head & Shoulders Top Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~152.11 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~133.87. A push back above 157.13 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 170.35 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.

Darvas B · Watch — The deterministic methodology check is Watch; wait for the failing or incomplete criteria to improve before the trigger can qualify.

Pivot

Pro level

Published-method rule: Use the top of the active Darvas box near the high as the mechanical breakout boundary.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Entry trigger

Pro level

Published-method rule: Require price to clear the box top with volume confirmation; movement inside the box remains observation, not a trigger.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Initial stop

Pro level

Published-method rule: Start below the active box support or the canonical structural stop that proves the breakout failed.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Trail

Rule-based

Published-method rule: As higher boxes form, raise the stop beneath the newest confirmed box floor; the stop moves up only.
Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.

Exit / invalidation

Pro level

Published-method rule: Exit when price breaks the active box floor or decisively falls back through the breakout structure.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~152.11 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~133.87. A push back above 157.13 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 170.35 invalidates it.
