Breakout Health
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 8-point Trend Template (6/8): 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.

Possible inverse head & shoulders — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close above ~133.23 (neckline) to confirm, with a measured move toward ~166.47. A drop under the right shoulder near 113.01 weakens the structure; a close below the head near 100.00 invalidates it.
