Additional concerns: Earnings in 4 days (event risk). Chart setup: Trend continuation, RSI 66, MACD bullish. Score 4.1/10, high confidence.

Passes 4/8 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 death cross (50MA < 200MA) and earnings proximity 4d<=7d. Suitability: aggressive.
