We grade our price-band calls in public

Each forward price band is logged the day it's set and scored when it resolves — misses included. 5 bands have resolved so far — not yet enough for a hit-rate that would mean anything, so none is shown. This builds in the open, not behind the paywall.

↳ In detail

How to read the odds

This is a historical rate, and an experimental one: across 25 years, stocks in the same state — same segment, same price phase, same volatility, same momentum — pulled back this often. The record is built from today's list of companies, so names that delisted along the way are missing and each stock's current segment is projected backward; the rates lean toward survivors until that rebuild lands. Compare the multiple against the segment rather than the bare percentage — recent years run higher than the full 25-year record. None of it predicts timing.

Momentum, bands & levels

↳ In detail

The simple version

When price sits aboveits averages with momentum rising, the trend is healthy. When RSI is near the extremes or the price looks "stretched," the move is overdone and often takes a breather. Think of these as a weather report — conditions, not instructions.

Pattern outcomes · derived analysis

Do these patterns even work?

Derived · what patterns actually did

Every charting site detects the pattern. We publish what happened next — the forward win-rate and sample size at each horizon, including the famous patterns that historically meant nothing.

The readForward win-rates, with sample sizewhere it sits

How often each chart pattern was actually followed by a gain, and how many past cases that's based on — including famous ones that didn't work.

Each bar is the win-rate — how often the price was higher that many days after the pattern appeared. The line marks 50%, a coin flip: green beats it, red is worse than chance. Every bar is a platform-wide cohort base rateacross every stock that has shown this pattern (cohort record, not this ticker's own history alone).

Why we show you the losers

Famous reversal signals like a bullish engulfing have historically closed higher less than half the time at short horizons — below a coin flip. We publish the win-rate and the sample size on every cohort, so a 42-case base rate never masquerades as an 8,500-case one. Objective base rates, not forecasts.

Reading risk

A beta of 0.26 means that, historically, a 1% move in the S&P has come with a ~0.26% move here. Realized vol ran 47% and the largest drawdown observed in the trailing year was 56% — both are what happened, not a bound on what can. The drawdown band above is observational — a risk sort against names of the same segment, blind to balance-sheet failures that never showed in the price.

Reading the flow

No clustered executive buying this window. Among funds that held the name through both quarters, more trimmed than added. Separately, the registered-holder count moved — quarter-over-quarter (n/a new, n/a exited). The two count different populations, so they can point opposite ways. Conviction is intensity, not a forecast.

Reading the options chain

Positioning is top-heavy with calls — about 1.7K contracts of call open interest against 944 of puts across the strikes nearest spot (chain-wide P/C 0.60). That's a stack of upside bets sitting as overhead supply: $140 is the call-OI wall — where dealer hedging tends to pin or repel price. Dealers are long gamma, so their hedging leans against moves — which tends to hold price near the $131 max-pain strike, currently 10.1% belowspot, into Friday's expiry. That damping works against range expansion while it lasts; it says nothing about which way price leaves. The chain is pricing about ±8.9% (≈ $13.04) over the coming week.

Dealers are long gamma, so they lean against moves — price gets pinned between support at $147.00 and resistance at $157.50 into expiry. Net gamma of +$428,918 is the dollar hedging effect per 1% move — the consequence a raw chain never tells you.

Historical, point-in-time backtest of a cross-sectional screen (135 months, 2013-2026), gross of trading costs. The equal-weighted base effect is marginal (t 1.84); statistical significance relies on the dependency weighting (t 2.02). Validated on monthly rebalancing; served daily on the same 21-bar horizon. This is a research screen describing a group-level historical spread - not a forecast of any individual stock's return.

↳ In detail

How to read the chain

The percentages are the company’s own concentration disclosures — a customer at 40% of revenue matters roughly eight times one at 5%, and the move shown weights them that way. Suppliers have historically followed their customers with a lag; the gap shows how much of the customers’ move this stock has not yet matched.

How post-earnings drift works

After an earnings reaction, how far price keeps drifting over the next 63 trading days depends on how big the first move was. A jump more than four times the stock's normal daily move usually spends the effect — the market has already repriced it. Milder reactions historically kept drifting, by about 3.2 percentage points in our sample.
