⚠ Risk Signals

Head & Shoulders Top Neckline ~35.87 has broken. Measured-move risk extends toward ~26.92; a fast reclaim of 35.87 would be a failed breakdown (often bullish).

Bearish structure on the daily chart — a heads-up for anyone holding, not a short signal. Does not affect the bullish setup score.

Momentum Turn Watch

Bollinger Squeeze Bollinger band width (10.6%) 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.
