Wait for pullback to $44.81. Weak momentum — blocks BUY_NOW at $49.24. Engine's entry $44.81 (50-day MA) is the shallowest technical level that clears the 2:1 A.R:R minimum. Key risks: Concentration risk — Product: CABOMETYX; Analyst target reached - limited upside remaining. Chart setup: Golden cross, above all MAs, RSI 65, MACD bullish. Growth is cheap relative to earnings, but the chart hasn't confirmed yet (PEG 0.28, quality 8.7/10, growth 7.5/10). Score 6.3/10, moderate confidence.

Passes 6/8 gates (positive momentum, clean insider activity, no SEC red flags, earnings proximity 76d clear, semi cycle peak clear, materials cycle peak clear). Fails on favorable risk/reward ratio. Suitability: moderate.
