Find NIQ Before It Becomes +40%

NIQ closed August 11 up 43.41%, almost exactly at its session high and materially above VWAP following a strong Q2 beat-and-raise.

The important Alpha Intel question is not whether NIQ was strong at +43%. That was obvious.

The important question is when the continuation pattern first became observable.

The next research phase will reconstruct NIQ at approximately +5%, +10%, +15% and +20%, using only information that would have existed at those moments.

The purpose is to test whether Alpha Intel can discover the formation of major continuation moves earlier rather than simply identifying stocks after the market has already repriced them.
