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.

Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Head & Shoulders bearish forming

75% built

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~502.81 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~411.10. A push back above 536.62 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 594.51 invalidates it.

Predictive pattern recognition is educational — most forming structures never confirm. Wait for the confirmation level before treating this as a setup.
