Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

VCP bullish forming
75% built

Possible VCP forming — contractions 7% → 5%. Watch for a final tighter contraction with volume drying up, then a move through ~190.55 on strong volume. A break below ~173.39 invalidates the base.

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