Daily Oversold Pullback Williams %R(14) touched -96 2 session(s) ago after a 8% pullback from the 6-month high ($202.00). Price is holding just above the $185.78 support shelf (a prior swing high turned support), with the weekly uptrend intact (30-week SMA $179.41 and not falling).
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.

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.
Evidence: Canonical setup geometry is available with Pro.

Forming Patterns (predictive — not confirmed)

Head & Shoulders bearish near confirmation
90% built

Possible head & shoulders top — not confirmed. Watch for a daily close below ~182.00 (neckline) to confirm, with measured-move risk toward ~160.75. A push back above 186.99 weakens the pattern; reclaiming 203.25 invalidates it.

Confirms below 182.00
Invalidates at 203.25
Left Shoulder 198.73
Head 203.25
Right Shoulder 186.99
Neckline 182.00
Target 160.75

LS 198.73 / head 203.25 / RS 186.99, neckline ~182.00, vol_fading=no

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