Sell if holding. Engine safety override at $5.72: a dimension score below its floor triggers a hard block regardless of the otherwise-positive setup — overall score 5.6/10 and A.R:R 1.8:1 is above the 1.5:1 BUY gate. Specifically: High short interest: 36%; Below-average business quality; Negative price momentum. Chart setup: Death cross but MACD improving, RSI 48. Score 5.6/10, moderate confidence.
Passes 6/9 gates (favorable risk/reward ratio, no SEC red flags, news events none recent, earnings proximity 77d clear, semi cycle peak clear, materials cycle peak clear). Fails on weak momentum and clean insider activity and death cross (50MA < 200MA). Suitability: aggressive.
