How it’s built. The price line is traced from the Monthly Rank Archive chart and resampled to 975 weeks (Jan 2008 – Sep 2026). Each week gets four measurements: 13-week momentum, 26-week volatility, drawdown from the 52-week high, and all-time rank (its percentile against every earlier week). Momentum and volatility use log(price + $10), so pixel-level noise in the sub-$10 years doesn’t read as movement. The five fingerprints are k-means centroids of those four measurements, z-scored. A week locks when one fingerprint takes at least 60% of the match probability. It’s flagged no match when it sits farther from every fingerprint than 97% of the archive does. Nov 2017 – Sep 2018 is left out because the source line is hidden under the marker there. This describes the past; it doesn’t forecast anything.
