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.

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 1.95 means that, historically, a 1% move in the S&P has come with a ~1.95% move here. Realized vol ran 54% and the largest drawdown observed in the trailing year was 21% — 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.

Conviction weighting, not a transaction list

Derived · who's actually buying

Insider buys are weighted by how senior the buyer is and whether several bought at once, alongside how fast big funds moved in or out quarter to quarter.

Reading the flow
Senior executives are buying — 1 of them, on the open market rather than on a pre-set schedule. Among funds that held the name through both quarters, more added than trimmed. Separately, the registered-holder count moved -73 quarter-over-quarter (58 new, 131 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 1.2K contracts of call open interest against 554 of puts across the strikes nearest spot (chain-wide P/C 0.86). That's a stack of upside bets sitting as overhead supply: $320 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 $320 max-pain strike, currently 14.3% 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 ±3.5% (≈ $12.88) over the coming week.

Open interest is free everywhere. What it does — whether dealer hedging dampens or amplifies a 1% move, and the strikes where that hedging concentrates — is the derived read.

The put-side concentration is not below the call-side one in this snapshot, so the two do not form an interval price can sit between. The strikes are shown as positioning references; no support / resistance reading is drawn from them.

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 +$1.15M is the dollar hedging effect per 1% move — the consequence a raw chain never tells you.

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.
