Pattern Analysis

4 Patterns That Triggered the SELL

Signal 01
RSI Bearish Divergence
RSI printed a lower high while price made a higher high. This classic momentum exhaustion signal indicates that buying pressure is fading even as the stock sets new local peaks — a frequent precursor to reversal.
Signal 02
Volume Collapse on Rally Push
Volume fell 42.1% below the 20-day average during the price push to $381, indicating a severe lack of conviction from buyers. Rallies on declining volume are among the most reliable bearish continuation setups.
−42.1% vs. 20-day avg
Signal 03
EMA Compression
The 8-, 21-, and 50-day EMAs converged within a 1.2% band, forming a coiling pattern. When short-, medium-, and long-term averages compress this tightly, the resulting breakout (or breakdown) is often sharp and decisive.
1.2% EMA band — 8 / 21 / 50 day
Signal 04
Sector Decoupling from QQQ
TSLA moved +2.3% while QQQ fell −0.8% on the same session, snapping a 14-day correlation. When a single stock diverges strongly from its sector ETF, it often precedes a mean-reversion correction back toward sector performance.
TSLA +2.3% vs. QQQ −0.8%

About SignalSight

What This Signal Tells You About SignalSight

Multi-factor confluence, not single-indicator noise. A single indicator never fired the SELL in isolation. RSI divergence + volume collapse + EMA compression + sector decoupling all aligned simultaneously. SignalSight only surfaces a signal when multiple independent bearish (or bullish) factors converge — dramatically reducing false positives compared to single-indicator alerts.
Confidence calibrated to signal strength — not inflated for impact. 38.7% is intentionally modest. SignalSight doesn't overstate certainty to make signals feel more compelling. A sub-40% confidence score on a SELL means "lean bearish with caution," not "bet the farm." This calibration lets you size positions appropriately — high confidence = larger conviction trade, lower confidence = smaller exploratory position.
Plain-English explanations every time. Every signal includes a prose breakdown so you understand the why, not just the what. "RSI bearish divergence detected with volume −42.1% below average" is infinitely more actionable than a bare SELL flag. You can evaluate the logic, agree or disagree, and make an informed decision — not a blind one.
