Investment implication

The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 4.7 below the 5.4 soft trigger — multiple weakening dimensions accumulated rather than a single hard-floor breach. The strongest dimension ( Momentum at 7.5) was not enough to lift the adjusted overall above the threshold. Co-occurring failed gates ( ASYMMETRY:0.7<1.5@spot) reinforce the read. Current asymmetry R:R is 0.70 — supplementary context, not the trigger for this path.

The strongest dimensions are Momentum at 7.5, Sentiment at 7.0, and Quality at 6.8; the weakest are Growth at 3.2, Technical at 3.7, and Peer rank at 4.3. The V9 engine flagged 1 failed gate with 1 warning, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 0.70 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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