Sell if holding. Engine safety override at $46.76: a dimension score below its floor triggers a hard block regardless of the otherwise-positive setup — overall score 3.2/10. Specifically: High short interest: 18%; Below-average business quality; Rich valuation. Chart setup: No recognized chart pattern (not a breakout, bounce, continuation, recovery, falling knife, or range) — technicals mixed. Score 3.2/10, high confidence.

Passes 4/7 gates (clean insider activity, no SEC red flags, news events none recent, semi cycle peak clear). Fails on weak momentum and favorable risk/reward ratio and earnings proximity 1d<=7d. Suitability: aggressive.
