Investment implication

The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 2.5 below the 5.6 soft trigger — multiple weakening dimensions accumulated rather than a single hard-floor breach. The strongest dimension ( Momentum at 7.1) was not enough to lift the adjusted overall above the threshold. Co-occurring failed gates ( ASYMMETRY:-1.1=NEGATIVE) reinforce the read. Current asymmetry R:R is -1.05 — supplementary context, not the trigger for this path.

The strongest dimensions are Momentum at 7.1, Sentiment at 6.0, and Risk (lower is worse) at 5.9; the weakest are Growth at 0.0, Peer rank at 3.0, and Technical at 3.1. The V9 engine flagged 1 failed gate with 1 warning, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of -1.05 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

Engine reasoning is mechanically derived from pipeline gate outputs. See decision view.
