⚠ Risk Signals
Head & Shoulders Top
Neckline ~187.54 has broken. Measured-move risk extends toward ~179.30; a fast reclaim of 187.54 would be a failed breakdown (often bullish).
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.

Minervini C · Watch — The deterministic methodology check is Watch; wait for the failing or incomplete criteria to improve before the trigger can qualify.
