B1 Banana buy signal — B# at Setup 1 breakout: consolidation break, LONG zones, bullish trail, dashboard LONG.

**Optional second lens (same move):** [AIMS Box Setup 1 Ready](https://www.tradingview.com/x/t0KPvApj/) on the same period — **Ready · Setup 1**, **BuyStop** entry.

![AIMS Box on XAUUSD H1 — Setup 1 Ready BuyStop at the same breakout](/img/indicators/banana/tradingview/xauusd-aims-box-setup1-ready.png)

Same breakout — AIMS Box Setup 1 Ready (optional context; not required for Banana B#).

Optional suite confluence

**AIMS Box** grades this as strong **Setup 1 Ready** territory. **AIMS Wave** can read the structure as a **wave 5** entry after wave 4 consolidation. Banana prints **B#** on its own — confluence is for the full stack. See [AIMS Box in the suite](/indicators/confluence/docs/features/box-tab-in-suite.md) and [AIMS Wave in the suite](/indicators/confluence/docs/features/aims-wave-in-suite.md).
