Three observations have aligned: the Darvas-box obs is firing, current-week volume is well above the 30-week average, and the ADX obs (sustained directional-movement asymmetry) is in the upper portion of its mapped range.
State
Darvas-box obs firing, volume-spike firing, ADX directional-movement asymmetry elevated
Emergence
Three present-state observations align. The Darvas-box obs (detects the classic box-and-breakout pattern as it occurs) is firing. Current-week volume is well above the 30-week average baseline (volume-spike obs). The ADX (now named 'Sustained Directional-Movement Asymmetry') is elevated. The three readings describe a present-state co-occurrence of a pattern-detection obs firing with elevated volume and elevated directional-movement asymmetry — not a forecast.
Limits
This interpretation records three present-state observations. It does not predict continuation, guarantee follow-through, or claim the pattern will sustain. Pattern-detection observations describe what has happened in the recent window, not what comes next. Darvas-style patterns fail regularly; the obs do not measure failure rates.
Explanation
Each observation reads a different aspect of recent price-and-volume behavior: Darvas Box is a pattern-detection observation derived from Nicolas Darvas's framework. It fires when a recent box-shaped consolidation has been broken in one direction; the obs records the present-state pattern, not future direction. Volume Spike is current-week volume divided by the 30-week average volume. A high score means current-week volume is well above the 30-week baseline. The obs is a single-week deviation reading; it does not test for sustained participation or price-direction alignment. Sustained Directional-Movement Asymmetry (ADX) measures how persistently directional movement has favored one side over the lookback window. A high score means the asymmetry has been sustained. The legacy 'ADX trend strength' framing has been dropped from the obs body; the obs records the asymmetry, not a strength verdict. When all three align, the configuration is a present-state co-occurrence of a pattern-detection obs firing with elevated volume and elevated directional-movement asymmetry — a description of what has happened, not a continuation prediction.
Interpretation
This interpretation identifies a co-occurrence of three present-state observations. It does not predict continuation, guarantee profit, or indicate timing. Pattern-recognition observations describe what has happened in the recent window, not what comes next.
