Fundamentals & Volatility

Quarterly fundamentals, options-market ATM implied volatility against this stock's own realized volatility, and dealer Gamma Exposure — context alongside the signals below, not itself a buy/sell read. Ported from the Portfolio Tracker project's Options tab and Option Chain / GEX view (its price chart and IV Smile/Skew view aren't included here — this report has its own price chart above).

Gamma Exposure

Aggregate dealer gamma across all contracts — from open interest, per 1% move, at the last price. Long call gamma (+), short put gamma (−). Expirations within 60 days out.
Expirations:

Gamma Exposure by Strike

Positive Gamma: Above the gamma flip, dealers are net long gamma (often from calls) — they buy as prices fall and sell as prices rise, dampening volatility and supporting the downside.
Negative Gamma: Below the gamma flip, dealers are net short gamma (often from puts) — they sell as prices fall and buy as prices rise, amplifying swings and accelerating moves to the downside.

Call vs Put Gamma Exposure

Breakout

Price closes above a base pivot on expanding volume, with the base tight recently and the Trend Template confirmed — the highest-conviction signal: a complete VCP setup.

Breakdown

The bearish mirror of Breakout: price closes below a support level on expanding volume, with a bearish top (a contracting sequence of rallies off falling lows, the mirror of a VCP base) tight recently and the Downtrend Template confirmed.

Episodic Pivot

A large single-day catalyst gap on heavy volume in a stock already showing real relative strength — Minervini's own term for a buyable gap that doesn't wait for a base to form.

Episodic Pivot — Bearish

The bearish mirror: a large single-day catalyst gap DOWN on heavy volume in a stock the market already disfavors (a genuine relative-strength laggard) — doesn't wait for a top to form either.

Momentum Burst

Pradeep Bonde's (Stockbee) "2LynCH" setup: a single well-formed breakout day — closing near its high, on expanding range and volume — out of an orderly, low-volume consolidation that followed a genuinely linear prior uptrend. The rarest of the five signals by design: a compound of seven conditions, not a loose heuristic.

Momentum Burst — Bearish

The bearish mirror — a "bear flag" continuation: a single well-formed breakdown day, closing near its low on expanding range and volume, out of an orderly low-volume consolidation that followed a genuinely linear prior downtrend.

Momentum Continuation

A sustained, no-pause grind — a large cumulative move over a rolling window with strong, rising relative strength and Trend Template, but no single dramatic trigger day and no orderly base to point to.

Momentum Continuation — Bearish

The bearish mirror — a sustained, no-pause grind DOWN in an already-weak stock (low RS, strong Downtrend Template), with no single dramatic trigger day and no orderly top to point to.

Mean Reversion — Bearish

Counter-trend, statistical-extreme read (the only short/overbought signal in this report): at least 4 of 5 components — a Bollinger Band pierce, RSI, Close z-score, moving-average extension, and volume — agree the stock is stretched too far above its own average, a candidate to snap back down. RSI/z-score/MA-extension each require BOTH an extreme level and a fast enough move into it (rate-of-change), and every dynamic bar (RSI, rate-of-change, volume) is calibrated per ticker from this stock's own historical swing points, not a fixed number for every stock. Every qualifying day is shown, not just the first of a run. Not a Minervini-style trend-following setup.

Mean Reversion — Bullish

The oversold mirror of Mean Reversion — Bearish: at least 4 of the same 5 components agree the stock is stretched too far below its own average, a candidate to snap back up. Still counter-trend, not a confirmed Stage-2 leader.

Candlestick — Bearish Reversal

A classic candlestick reversal formation (Bearish Engulfing, Bearish Harami, or Evening Star) detected AND gated by a valid short-term uptrend to reverse — the pattern shape alone isn't enough, the SMA10/20 trend must actually have been rising into it. A fully separate, independently-toggleable track from every other signal in this report.

Candlestick — Bullish Reversal

The oversold mirror: Bullish Engulfing, Bullish Harami, or Morning Star, gated by a valid short-term downtrend to reverse. Each pattern allows a small buffer/tolerance rather than requiring textbook-exact geometry — see the report footer for the exact settings used.

EMA Surfing

Riding a positively stacked EMA(10/20/50) staircase higher off a real low within the last 90 days — a healthy, EMA-supported uptrend, not itself an entry. Context to wait for the next trigger: a breakout, or a pullback to a lower EMA that holds and continues. Listed is the first day of each distinct surfing period.

EMA Surfing — Bearish

The bearish mirror: riding a negatively stacked EMA(10/20/50) staircase lower off a real high within the last 90 days — a healthy (for a short), EMA-supported downtrend, not itself an entry. Context to wait for the next trigger: a breakdown, or a bounce to a higher EMA that fails and continues down.

Earnings reports

Reported quarterly earnings dates in this window, with reported EPS and year-over-year EPS growth (vs. the same quarter four reports back). Shown for context alongside the signal types above, not itself a buy/sell signal.
