How entry works: “NOW” = within 5% of 52-week high (already breaking out, buy at market). “WAIT” = needs to reach its 52-week high first — set an alert at that price.

ACCUMULATION

Institutional accumulation read from dark-pool volume (SqueezeMetrics DIX). Context only — not a buy/sell signal; never overrides the Market Health Check, it adds confluence only.

DIX regime chart
as of 2026-07-07 · source: SqueezeMetrics (free public CSV)
Confluence DIX sits near its 1-year low — dark pools show no accumulation. No dark-pool confluence for new longs; treat strength with caution.
