Has BENQI bottomed?

A confirmed swing low is evidence of a price pattern, not proof of a final market bottom. Here is what the QI snapshot records on 2026-10-21 UTC:

Monthly: the last confirmed swing low is $0.00101 from 2026-07-31. The current candidate is marked confirmed. The latest monthly bar is still forming.

Weekly: the last confirmed swing low is $0.00114 from 2026-09-20. The current candidate is marked confirmed. The latest weekly bar is still forming.

Daily: the last confirmed swing low is $0.00278 from 2026-10-05. A newer candidate at $0.00229 is unconfirmed; its confirmation level is above $0.00249, provided the candidate low is not undercut first.

How bottom confirmation works. Cycle-low confidence is a heuristic score, not a calibrated probability of a profitable trade.
