⚠ Risk Signals
Rising Wedge
prior_advance=85.6%, converging=yes, narrowing=56%, touches=upper:3/lower:3, trigger=broke
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.

Separate score from the Minervini Trend Template (8/8): the Trend Template grades the price structure, this grades the company & leadership (earnings, sales, margins, RS rank). A stock can ride a clean trend while its fundamentals lag, so the two often differ by design — they are not the same checklist.
