2026

10 setups broke their red lines this week. They're at the top of this recap, not buried.
Week of 04 Oct - 11 Oct 2026. Every setup we publish comes with one level that proves it wrong. This is the weekly audit of how those levels did.
THE MISSES
- ETH: closed below 2,600 on 07 Oct - invalidated (graded C when opened).
- HBAR: closed below 0.1013 on 06 Oct - invalidated (graded A when opened).

ONE MISS, EXPLAINED
Picked by a fixed rule, not by us: the highest grade at publication first, then the deepest daily close below the red line, then the earliest.
HBAR - graded A, stage 6
THE FACTS
- 28 Sep 21:15 IST: published at 0.1231. Red line 0.1013, confirmation level 0.1231.
- Evidence on the card at publication: structure: confirmed setup (stage 6 - continuation).
- No daily close above the publication price before the break.
- 06 Oct daily candle (closed 05:30 IST next day): close 0.09967, 1.6% below the red line 0.1013 - marked wrong.
OUR READ AT PUBLICATION (interpretation)
- Stage 6, Continuation: After a held retest, a new high more than 2% above the old ceiling.
- Grade A: Structure confirmed (a breakout plus a held retest) and nothing against it in the cross-checks.
WHAT IT SHOWS - AND WHAT IT DOESN'T
- The red line sat 21.5% below the publication price; a daily close went through it 8 days after publication.
- None of the cross-checks flagged it at publication. We don't know the cause and won't guess one.
- One failure doesn't change the rules. Any rule change is announced in this recap first.

A RULE CHANGE, IN THE OPEN
- A higher bar for confirmation. A coin sitting at its high used to confirm on its next green daily close - the level was on top of the price. From now on, when the confirmation level is within 1% of price, it is raised to one average daily range (14-day ATR) above the price we published at. And a setup whose price is already below its red line is no longer published at all; it goes to the shadow record. The Outcomes page now also scores every setup against a coin flip: the chance it would confirm first if price wandered at random, given its two distances. Setups already on the record keep the rule they were published with.
WHAT HELD
- NEAR: confirmed - a daily close above 5.58 (the test level in its published condition).
- BNB: confirmed - a daily close above 807.49 (the test level in its published condition).
- ADA: confirmed - a daily close above 0.2654 (a new high above the 30-day closing high and today's price).
- RLC: confirmed - a daily close above 0.809 (a new high above the 30-day closing high and today's price).
4H MOVES (reported separately - not part of the record's score)
- SUI: 4H break above 1.22 held its retest.
- NEAR: 4H break above 5.07 held its retest.
- ZEC: 4H break above 1,366 held its retest.
- ADA: 4H break above 0.2768 faded back under 0.2699.

HOW TO READ THIS
We don't call tops or bottoms. Each chart gets a structure stage, a grade after cross-checks (derivatives crowding, news event risk), and one red line. The record keeps every outcome - the misses carry the same weight as the confirmations.
