Bollinger Squeeze Bollinger band width (11.1%) is in the bottom quartile of its last 120 sessions — Legend's width-percentile squeeze (not a TTM/Keltner squeeze), so volatility is compressed and a sharper move often follows.
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.

What would change this verdict

What needs to turn for this to become buyable — the top failing checks across the legend council:

  • Minervini 1.5 Price > 50-day MA — Price $5.41 vs MA50 $5.74
  • Minervini 2. ROE ≥ 17% — ROE -8.9%
  • O'Neil L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership) — RS rank 77
  • O'Neil A: Annual earnings & revenue quality — Rev -5.0% | ROE -8.9%
  • Weinstein Volume expansion above average — Volume ratio 0.76x
  • Weinstein 30-week MA trending upward
Minority view — the council disagrees here
  • Minervini: avoid Trend-template read: fails Price > 50-day MA.
  • O'Neil: avoid CANSLIM read: fails L: RS rank ≥ 80 (IBD leadership).
  • Weinstein: watch Stage-analysis read: Stage 2 is present; 2 supporting checks need improvement.
66 Strong
Legend Score · rates the stock Strong (66/100) — held back by quality (smr-like)

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.

  • Relative Strength (25%) 78
  • Trend Template (25%) 88
  • Institutional Footprint (20%) 63
  • EPS Growth (15%) 40
  • Quality (SMR-like) (15%) 38

RS rank 77: above-average strength. Trend template 7/8: price above rising 50/150/200-day lines — textbook uptrend structure. Institutional score 63: mild accumulation. EPS growth reads +9%, but trailing earnings are negative — that percentage is an artifact, capped. Quality 38: weak fundamentals (sales growth 30, return on equity 40, leverage 60). Updated 2026-10-22.

Legend Verdicts 6 methodology checks

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 (0/100, 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.

Council consensus: 6 of 9 legends are Watching — building, not yet a confirmed buy.

Zanger D · Avoid — The deterministic methodology check is Avoid; wait until the blocking criteria are resolved.
Pivot
Pro level
Published-method rule: Use the breakout point of a named pattern (flat base, bull flag, ascending triangle, cup and handle, double bottom, symmetrical triangle).
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Entry trigger
Pro level
Published-method rule: Buy the breakout day on 150-200% of average volume. Never pay more than 5% above the breakout point.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Initial stop
Pro level
Published-method rule: Set the stop 2-3% below entry and sell on bad price action before it is even hit.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.
Trail
Rule-based
Published-method rule: Sell 20-30% of the position at +15-20% from the breakout, then trail the rest on the 10/20-day moving average.
Evidence: Planned management rule; no stored stop or broker order is changed automatically.
Exit / invalidation
Pro level
Published-method rule: Out on a break of the 10/20-day MA, a failed breakout back below the pivot, or a reversal pattern — winners are held, laggards are sold fast.

Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Inverse Head & Shoulders bullish forming
80% built

Possible inverse head & shoulders — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close above ~5.72 (neckline) to confirm, with a measured move toward ~6.31. A drop under the right shoulder near 5.43 weakens the structure; a close below the head near 5.14 invalidates it.

Head & Shoulders bearish forming
75% built

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~4.92 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~2.72. A push back above 6.46 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 7.13 invalidates it.
