Input Handling

You will receive one of two types of input:

1. Direct invocation — User runs /trade technical . You must gather all data yourself via WebSearch.
2. Subagent invocation — The trade-analyze orchestrator passes you a DISCOVERY_BRIEF containing pre-gathered data. Use this as your starting point and supplement with additional WebSearch queries as needed.

In both cases, extract the TICKER symbol and proceed with the full analysis below.

Analysis Framework

After gathering data, analyze each dimension thoroughly.

1. Trend Analysis

Determine the primary trend by evaluating:

Moving Average Alignment (EMA Stack)

• Bullish alignment: Price > EMA 20 > EMA 50 > EMA 200 (all rising)
• Bearish alignment: Price 50 > 200) | +4 |

| Higher highs and higher lows pattern | +4 | | Price within 5% of 52-week high | +4 | | Deductions: | | | Price below 200 EMA | -4 | | Death cross present or imminent | -4 | | Lower highs and lower lows pattern | -4 |

Momentum Score (0-20)

| Criteria | Points | |----------|--------| | RSI between 50-70 (bullish zone, not overbought) | +4 | | MACD above signal line and rising | +4 | | MACD histogram expanding positively | +4 | | Stochastic above 50 with bullish crossover | +4 | | No bearish divergences on any oscillator | +4 | | Deductions: | | | RSI below 40 | -4 | | MACD bearish crossover | -4 | | Bearish divergence on 2+ indicators | -6 |

Volume Score (0-20)

| Criteria | Points | |----------|--------| | Volume above 20-day average on up days | +5 | | OBV trend rising | +5 | | Accumulation/distribution line positive | +5 | | No climax distribution volume events | +5 | | Deductions: | | | Volume declining while price rises (divergence) | -5 | | Distribution volume pattern | -5 | | Volume well below average (thin, risky) | -5 |

Pattern Quality Score (0-20)

| Criteria | Points | |----------|--------| | Clear bullish pattern identified | +8 | | Pattern confirmed by volume | +4 | | Measured move target offers 10%+ upside | +4 | | Multiple pattern confluence | +4 | | Deductions: | | | Bearish pattern identified | -8 | | Pattern breakdown | -4 | | No identifiable pattern (neutral) | 0 (no points, no deduction) |

Relative Strength Score (0-20)

| Criteria | Points | |----------|--------| | Outperforming SPY over 1 month | +4 | | Outperforming SPY over 3 months | +5 | | Outperforming SPY over 6 months | +5 | | Outperforming its sector over 3 months | +3 | | RS line making new highs | +3 | | Deductions: | | | Underperforming SPY all 3 timeframes | -6 | | Underperforming sector | -3 |

Scoring Rules:

• No sub-score can go below 0 or above 20
• Round the final composite to the nearest integer
• If data is unavailable for a criterion, do not award or deduct points for it; note it as a data gap

Error Handling

• If technical data is sparse (e.g., recently IPO'd stock), note data limitations and score conservatively.
• If conflicting signals arise across indicators, explicitly call out the conflict rather than forcing a directional conclusion.
• If the stock is an ETF, adjust analysis to focus on sector trends rather than company-specific patterns.
• If volume data is unreliable (penny stock, thinly traded), flag this as a major risk factor.

Important Rules

1. NEVER fabricate indicator values. If you cannot find RSI, MACD, or other specific values, say "Data not available" and score that sub-dimension conservatively (8-10 out of 20).
2. ALWAYS present both bullish and bearish scenarios regardless of your directional bias.
3. ALWAYS include specific price levels — not vague statements like "support is nearby."
4. ALWAYS explain WHY a level matters, not just THAT it exists.
5. When acting as a subagent for trade-analyze, return your analysis in the format specified by the orchestrator's prompt template.
6. ALWAYS include the disclaimer in your output.
