What needs to turn for this to become buyable — the top failing checks across the legend council:
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.
RS rank 87: beating most of the market. Trend template 8/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 58: neutral — no clear institutional conviction. EPS up +0% — growing, but below the 25% leadership bar. Quality 40: weak fundamentals (sales growth 31, return on equity 44, leverage 60). Updated 2026-10-27.
Rule: closed up but below the open and in the bottom third of the range. Judged on internals, not on the size of the move.
⚠ Green but fading. The day closed below its open and in the lower third of the range. This is not strong momentum, whatever the headline percentage says.
Ask a Legend to interpret this evidence → Commentary only — never scanner evidence or a sizing recommendation.
Interactive price, volume, RS, RSI, and MACD charts are available after sign in.
Bullish momentum — comfortably in buyer territory.
Bullish — MACD above its signal line and above zero. Histogram contracting.
Near the upper band — buyers in control.
Balanced — up/down volume is roughly even; no clear hand. Recent volume is expanding versus its baseline.
Retracement support zones measured from the recent swing low up to the high.
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 (80/100, 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.

zanger
Watch
B
Zanger read: the structure is fine but the breakout quality is not there yet — wait for 150%+ volume on the break.
partialZanger would buy the Cup & Handle breakout only with 150-200% volume, never more than 5% above the breakout point, with a 2-3% stop set at entry. His edge over O'Neil is the exit plan: sell 20-30% of the position at +15-20%, then trail the rest on the 10/20-day moving average.
zweig

Zweig read: part of his screen passes but not all: EPS growth above the market (≥15% QoQ); Reasonable price for the growth (P/E ≤ 35); Insider buying — wait for the full growth screen before treating this as a Zweig setup.

No active breakout tracked — Legend AI monitors daily for pivot-point breaks. What's a breakout?
Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~1117.87 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~943.10. A push back above 1215.00 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 1292.65 invalidates it.
LS 1249.45 / head 1292.65 / RS 1215.00, neckline ~1117.87, vol_fading=no
Predictive pattern recognition is educational — most forming structures never confirm. Wait for the confirmation level before treating this as a setup.
