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.

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.

In detail
Reading risk
A beta of 0.63 means that, historically, a 1% move in the S&P has come with a ~0.63% move here. Realized vol ran 26% and the largest drawdown observed in the trailing year was 13% — 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.
Failure modes · derived analysis

How this kind of company fails

Failure modes · Bank

Different businesses break in different ways. This section reshapes by company type — these are the specific failure modes for a name like this one.

The readBankwhere it sitsrouted by company type

Different company types fail in different ways — a bank runs on deposits, a hyper-growth name on its valuation. These are the specific ways a stock like this tends to break.

Deposit flight-0.9%
Quarter-over-quarter change in deposits. A bank fails on the liability side — outflows force fire-sales of assets, so a shrinking deposit base is the leading run signal.
Uninsured deposits9.1%
Share of deposits above the insurance cap. Uninsured money leaves first and fastest in a panic — a large tranche makes a run more likely to feed on itself.
Market-implied default risk2.5%
A 1-year default probability backed out of the equity market (bank-tuned Merton, with deposits + debt as the liability face). The market's own read on solvency stress.

Among funds that held the name through both quarters, more trimmed than added. Separately, the registered-holder count moved -14 quarter-over-quarter (21 new, 35 exited).

Reading the gamma map
Dealers are long gamma, so their hedging leans against moves. The call- and put-side concentrations do not form an ordered interval in this snapshot, so no support or resistance level is read off them here. Net gamma of is the dollar hedging effect per 1% move — the consequence a raw chain never tells you.

The case against

What can break: how hard this name has fallen before, a sensible position cap, whether it behaves like a lottery ticket, how much cash it has left, how it drifts after earnings, whether the dividend holds, and what changed in the filings — plus a crowding read when its three inputs agree.

Reading the fate ledger
Each row is what happened to every tracked name in this size cohort over that window — delisted for cause, acquired, or still listed — with the band around each rate. These are the cohort's historical frequencies, not probabilities for this name, and the acquisition arm is never an acquisition forecast.
Deep-drawdown recovery record

Names this size that fell 30% took a median 245 trading days to reclaim their prior high — and only 56.3% did within 3 years once the delisted are counted (a survivor-only screen would claim 65.7%).

In detail
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.
