The channel, levels and gaps are observational geometry showing where the current price sits within past swing structure. They are not a rebound/bottom probability, a price target, or a buy/sell signal — plain chart patterns carry no reliable predictive edge (our backtest conclusion).
A highlight of the key metrics detailed below.
Undervalued vs sector 12/100 within Consumer Defensive — higher means lower multiples (PER·PB·EV/EBITDA·PSR) than sector peers. Growth sectors carry higher multiples, so this is a same-sector relative view, not absolute cheapness (observational).

○ aligned
Color: green = healthy, red = caution (absolute thresholds, value/quality metrics only). Downside vol & Sortino are annualized. Max drawdown = largest drop from a 3-year peak; volatility = 1-year annualized. Price/Graham < 1 = below Graham fair value (profitable, positive-equity names only). RSI < 30 = oversold. For reference only.
Long-term trend (Ichimoku)

RSI divergence (timeframes)
Daily · cleared gate (tiny effect)
Of 24 backtested chart patterns, only the daily bullish variant cleared the 20-day excess-return gate (t=2.23). The excess was +0.68% — economically negligible — and the bearish variant did not clear it. Treat it as an observation, not a probability or buy signal.

When price falls while RSI makes a higher low, you are 'observing' selling pressure fading — not a forecast or a buy signal.
