Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Inverse Head & Shoulders bullish near confirmation
90% built

Possible inverse head & shoulders — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close above ~35.19 (neckline) to confirm, with a measured move toward ~38.82. A drop under the right shoulder near 33.91 weakens the structure; a close below the head near 31.56 invalidates it.

Confirms above 35.19
Invalidates at 31.56
Left Shoulder 33.76
Head 31.56
Right Shoulder 33.91
Neckline 35.19
Target 38.82

LS 33.76 / head 31.56 / RS 33.91, neckline ~35.19, 0.8% below confirmation

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