Momentum Turn Watch
Weekly Bullish MACD Divergence
Price made a lower low ($153.31→$142.54) while MACD made a higher low (-2.08→-0.41). Treat it as early momentum evidence until price confirms a turn.
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.

What would change this verdict
What needs to turn for this to become buyable — the top failing checks across the legend council:
- Minervini 1.2 150-day MA > 200-day MA — MA150 $149.56 vs MA200 $155.11
- Minervini 1.8 RS rank ≥ 70 (prefer ≥ 85) — RS rank 37
- O'Neil C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25% — CANSLIM grade D
- O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 37
- Weinstein Stage 2 (Advancing phase) confirmed — Stage 3 (Topping)
- Weinstein 30-week MA trending upward — From weekly scan context
Minority view — the council disagrees here
- Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails 150-day MA > 200-day MA.
- O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails C: Quarterly EPS acceleration ≥ 25%.
- Weinstein: avoid Stage-analysis read: topping (Stage 3) is not an advancing Stage 2.

Neutral (50/100) — held back by quality (smr-like)
Our proprietary 0-100 rating — the answer to Wall Street's black-box scores. Five pillars, each computed from real scan data, each explained below in plain English.
- Relative Strength (25%) 37
- Trend Template (25%) 62
- Institutional Footprint (20%) 68
- EPS Growth (15%) 50
- Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 30
RS rank 37: lagging the market — leaders don't look like this. Trend template 5/8: mixed — some uptrend elements, some missing. Institutional score 68: mild accumulation. No recent earnings growth data — scored neutral. Quality 30: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30). Updated 2026-10-27.

Legend Verdicts
6 methodology checks
Who would consider this setup, why it qualifies, and what blocks it — calculated from the same deterministic methodology rules used across Legend AI.
How to read the numbers: the setup score (55/100, in the verdict band) rates this trade setup. Each legend's A–D grade rates the same setup against that legend's own checklist — so a high score next to a C grade is not a contradiction. The setup can be strong without fitting that legend's style. When the council disagrees, the verdict band breaks the tie.
Council consensus:
5 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.

Separate score from the Minervini Trend Template (5/8): the Trend Template grades the price structure, this grades the company & leadership (earnings, sales, margins, RS rank).
