Investment implication

The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 5.5 below the 5.6 soft trigger — multiple weakening dimensions accumulated rather than a single hard-floor breach. The strongest dimension ( Value at 7.1) was not enough to lift the adjusted overall above the threshold. Co-occurring failed gates ( MOMENTUM:3.4<4.5, DEATH_CROSS:HARD_BLOCK) reinforce the read. Current asymmetry R:R is 2.11 — supplementary context, not the trigger for this path.

The strongest dimensions are Value at 7.1, Sentiment at 6.8, and Quality at 6.6; the weakest are Peer rank at 3.0, Risk (lower is worse) at 3.3, and Momentum at 3.4. The V9 engine flagged 2 failed gates, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 2.11 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

Engine reasoning is mechanically derived from pipeline gate outputs. See decision view.
