Investment implication

The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 4.6 below the 5.6 soft trigger — multiple weakening dimensions accumulated rather than a single hard-floor breach. The strongest dimension ( Sentiment at 6.7) was not enough to lift the adjusted overall above the threshold. Co-occurring failed gates ( MOMENTUM:4.3<4.5, ASYMMETRY:1.1<1.5@spot, DEATH_CROSS:HARD_BLOCK) reinforce the read. Current asymmetry R:R is 1.06 — supplementary context, not the trigger for this path.

The strongest dimensions are Sentiment at 6.7, Catalyst at 6.6, and Quality at 5.8; the weakest are Peer rank at 3.7, Momentum at 4.3, and Technical at 4.4. The V9 engine flagged 3 failed gates with 1 warning, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 1.06 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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