Sell if holding. Engine safety override at $5.81: a dimension score below its floor triggers a hard block regardless of the otherwise-positive setup — overall score 5.4/10 and A.R:R 6.1:1 is above the 1.5:1 BUY gate. Specifically: High short interest: 28%; Below-average business quality; Negative price momentum. Chart setup: Death cross, below all MAs, RSI 22, MACD bearish. Score 5.4/10, moderate confidence.
Passes 5/8 gates (favorable risk/reward ratio, clean insider activity, no SEC red flags, news events none recent, semi cycle peak clear). Fails on weak momentum and death cross (50MA < 200MA) and earnings proximity 5d<=7d. Suitability: aggressive.
