Sell if holding. Engine safety override at $69.44: a dimension score below its floor triggers a hard block regardless of the otherwise-positive setup — overall score 5.5/10. Specifically: High short interest: 39%; Below-average business quality; Below long-term trend. Chart setup: Death cross but MACD improving, RSI 71. Score 5.5/10, moderate confidence.

Passes 6/9 gates (positive momentum, no SEC red flags, news boost analyst 0.70, earnings proximity 29d clear, semi cycle peak clear, materials cycle peak clear). Fails on favorable risk/reward ratio and clean insider activity. Suitability: aggressive.
