STRIKE.
The triggers line up — but a falling knife cuts the strike.
4 of 5 entry triggers are firing and an entry level is on file — on triggers alone this would read STRIKE. But the stock is still dropping hard on heavy volume with no support underneath, and a live slide overrides the triggers: setups look their most tempting halfway down. The cut stands until the selling settles.

The triggers line up, but a falling knife cuts the strike — entry vetoed until the slide stabilizes.

A checklist, not odds on a return: 3 of 5 usable price conditions have to line up. RSI, the 50-day average and the Bollinger band move with the price you set; the 20-day average traded price, the entry level and the busiest put strike stay fixed. MACD, relative volume and short interest are context only — they never count toward the total.
