Sell if holding. Momentum 4.1/10 is below the 5.0 floor at $90.08 — engine's falling-knife protection flags exit rather than catching a breakdown. Specifics: Thin upside margin: 9.4%; Below 200-MA, MA slope -1.6%/30d (confirmed downtrend). Chart setup: Death cross but MACD improving, RSI 57. Score 5.4/10, moderate confidence.

Passes 6/9 gates (favorable risk/reward ratio, clean insider activity, news events none recent, earnings proximity 43d clear, semi cycle peak clear, materials cycle peak clear). Fails on weak momentum and death cross (50MA < 200MA). Suitability: moderate.
