How the engine reached this verdict
TrendMatrix's engine output for INVESCO MORTGAGE CAPITAL INC (IVR) is SELL_IF_HOLDING with medium conviction, score 5.2/10 at $7.43. The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 5.2 below the 5.6 soft trigger — multiple weakening dimensions accumulated rather than a single hard-floor breach. Asymmetry R:R of -0.56 is supplementary context, not the trigger.
The dominant failed gate is momentum at 2.1 vs threshold 4.5 (with co-failures: reward-to-risk). SELL flips back toward HOLD if momentum recovers above its threshold AND a co-failing gate also clears. The strongest-cleared gate today is INSIDER:OK.
On the bull side: Positive insider activity; Margin of safety: 68%. On the bear side: Concentration risk — Counterparty: Invesco Advisers (external manager); Concentration risk — Counterparty: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae guarantees; Analyst target reached - limited upside remaining. Active engine warnings: V8: Target reached (-2.8% upside), V9 Gate Failed: MOMENTUM:2.1<4.5, V9 Gate Failed: ASYMMETRY:-0.6=NEGATIVE.
The engine's exit framework anchors to a tactical sell band near $7.43, with structural invalidation at $7.15. The asymmetric R:R against a reversal hypothesis is -0.56 — the upside scenario exists, but it requires multiple structural gates to flip; the downside scenario requires only one more disappointment. The engine's sizing output: 0.5% of portfolio at this asymmetry level (none-conviction tier).
