Investment implication

The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 2.2 below the 5.6 soft trigger — multiple weakening dimensions accumulated rather than a single hard-floor breach. The strongest dimension ( Catalyst at 7.6) was not enough to lift the adjusted overall above the threshold. Co-occurring failed gates ( MOMENTUM:3.5<4.5, ASYMMETRY:-1.6=NEGATIVE) reinforce the read. Current asymmetry R:R is -1.65 — supplementary context, not the trigger for this path.

The strongest dimensions are Catalyst at 7.6, Technical at 5.3, and Insider at 4.8; the weakest are Growth at 0.0, Peer rank at 2.1, and Momentum at 3.5. The V9 engine flagged 2 failed gates, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of -1.65 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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