Three-Tier Determination
Current pivot zone 194.30 – 214.15. Since October, three successive second pullback anchor prices have stepped down by a cumulative 2.67 dollars. The latest anchor, 210.18, is 2.77% below the closing price.
Of nine independent frameworks, one is negative and eight are neutral; none is positive.
Weekly GMMA shows bullish separation, with the close above the weekly MA40 at 204.16. The weekly and daily readings do not form a trend in the same direction. The weekly state condition test using shifted controls is at the 91st percentile and provides no additional directional information.
The current fingerprint occurred 26 times in 5,488 observations. The 20-day sample mean is +3.75%, above the full-sample benchmark of +3.56%. The random-control test is at the 55th percentile. The fingerprint provides no forward-looking information.
For the same sample and observation period, the sample-weighted means of the four bullish scenario specifications range from +0.03R to +0.16R; the three bearish specifications range from −0.16R to +0.01R.

The current pivot zone comprises ten strokes, spanning 194.30 – 214.15, with a volatility high/low of 243.37 / 189.59. The closing price of 216.00 is 1.85 dollars above the upper boundary of the pivot zone.
Sequence of second pullback model markers, 2026-10-16 to 2026-10-26
Four independent methodologies — trend, position, momentum, and volume — each with its own independent verification basis, not referencing one another.
Framework readings, basis date 2026-10-26
This pattern requires a breakout above both the descending trendline and horizontal resistance within ten bars. For this model marker, the trendline connects the May 14 high of 236.00 to the September 4 high of 234.50. Its slope is only −0.019/day, a cumulative decline of 1.50 dollars over seventy-eight trading days.
As the slope approaches zero, the trendline and horizontal level converge into the same line. The pattern becomes a single horizontal breakout and loses the filtering effect of requiring two independent conditions to be met together. By comparison, the trendline for the April 13 model marker had a slope of −0.671/day, a thirty-four-fold difference.
Trend, position, relative strength, and structure are recalculated on the weekly timeframe to define the higher-timeframe context for the daily readings.
Weekly bars use the close of the last trading day of each week, covering 1,139 weeks. The current week is incomplete; its final bar temporarily uses the basis-date close.
Weekly readings, basis date 2026-10-26
Weekly GMMA shows bullish separation, and the close is above the weekly MA40. Daily GMMA is intertwined, and the close is above MA200. The two timeframes do not form a trend in the same direction. The latest weekly stroke is upward, from 2026-07-02 (189.59) to 2026-10-09 (243.37), a move of +28.4%. The basis-date close is −11.2% below that endpoint.
Condition definition: weekly GMMA shows bullish separation and the close is above the weekly MA40. Each trading day uses only weekly information available on that date; an incomplete week temporarily uses that day's close. Sample period 2005-01-03 to 2026-10-26, with qualifying observations on 3,473 days.
Weekly state condition test: subsequent 20-day price changes
The weekly state provides no additional directional information; the readings in this section only define the context in which the daily is situated.
For the same sample and observation period, the sample-weighted means of the four bullish scenario specifications range from +0.03R to +0.16R; the three bearish specifications range from −0.16R to +0.01R.
Encode the current state as a fingerprint, test its distribution of subsequent price changes in historical samples, and compare maximum adverse movement, maximum favorable movement and the width of the hypothetical invalidation boundary.
Fingerprint definition: bearish or intertwined GMMA + close below the quarter-anchored VWAP + 60-day relative strength ahead of SPY + volume z ≥ 1. Sample period 2005-01-03 to 2026-10-26, covering 5,488 daily bars, with matching observations on 26 days.
Subsequent price changes on fingerprint days, compared with the full-sample benchmark
The distributions for fingerprint days and the full sample overlap substantially. Across the four observation periods, the 20-day sample-weighted mean is above the benchmark, and the share of positive outcomes is higher by 4.2 percentage points.This fingerprint provides no directional information.

All four specifications have positive sample-weighted means. For the historical sample using an invalidation boundary of 210.16 and a comparison boundary of 224.90, the boundary distance ratio is 1.52, the comparison-boundary-first rate is 46.2%, and the sample-weighted mean is +0.16R. All four are historical statistics and are not a basis for choosing a specification.
