No active breakout tracked — Legend AI monitors daily for pivot-point breaks. What's a breakout?
Latest candle: Shooting Star — Long upper shadow with a small body near the low — sellers rejected higher prices. A caution flag when price is extended above a pivot.

Separate score from the Minervini Trend Template (4/8): 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.

Exit / invalidation

Possible inverse head & shoulders — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close above ~140.13 (neckline) to confirm, with a measured move toward ~188.73. A drop under the right shoulder near 117.58 weakens the structure; a close below the head near 91.53 invalidates it.
