Head & Shoulders Top Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~59.12 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~52.95. A push back above 61.00 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 65.28 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.

Pivot

Pro level

Published-method rule: Use the tight base's structural pivot; the setup must retain Trend Template leadership into the trigger.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Entry trigger

Pro level

Published-method rule: Require a decisive move through the pivot with volume confirmation, and do not initiate more than 5% above it.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Initial stop

Pro level

Published-method rule: Start at the tighter structural invalidation; the initial loss limit must not exceed roughly 7–8% from entry.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Trail

Rule-based

Published-method rule: Hold the initial stop until the trade proves itself; near +1R move to breakeven, then trail a higher low or rising 10/21-day average once well extended.
Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.

Exit / invalidation

Pro level

Published-method rule: Exit when the structural stop or a meaningful higher-low/short-term trend violation fires; never widen the stop.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~59.12 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~52.95. A push back above 61.00 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 65.28 invalidates it.
