5 price setups to examine, with the case for each and the risks beside it. None is a cleared trade yet. Maya’s news and social-attention sections follow the charts.
Bear flag · Bearish price pattern · Last close $225.43
Why bearish: Price fell, paused in a short counter-trend channel, then broke below that channel. This supports a possible continuation lower. The closing price is below its 50-bar average ($249.19) and below its 200-bar average ($240.47).
What could go wrong: Breakout volume supports the move. A move above $230.79 would undermine this pattern.
TTM Squeeze · 4H: Squeeze is off; its last observed release was 31 completed bars ago. Momentum is bearish and rising (-18.56). Momentum direction agrees with this setup. No fresh directional squeeze trigger.
Bull flag · Bullish price pattern · Last close $136.20
Why bullish: Price rose, paused in a short counter-trend channel, then broke above that channel. This supports a possible continuation higher. The closing price is above its 50-bar average ($112.37) and above its 200-bar average ($121.10).
What could go wrong: Breakout volume is still unconfirmed. A move below $124.10 would undermine this pattern.
TTM Squeeze · 4H: Squeeze is off; no release observed in the available calculation window. Momentum is bullish and falling (16.79). Momentum direction agrees with this setup. No fresh directional squeeze trigger.

TTM Squeeze settings and interpretation
20-bar Bollinger bands (2 population standard deviations); original Keltner: SMA20 typical price ± 1.5 × SMA20 high-low range; 20-bar regression momentum. Latest completed 4H candles only; a fresh trigger requires a release on the latest candle with positive/rising or negative/falling momentum. Other platforms may use different Keltner settings.
