Investment implication

The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 3.2 below the 5.6 soft trigger — multiple weakening dimensions accumulated rather than a single hard-floor breach. The strongest dimension ( Value at 8.2) was not enough to lift the adjusted overall above the threshold. Co-occurring failed gates ( MOMENTUM:2.4<4.5, ASYMMETRY:0.4<1.5@spot) reinforce the read. Current asymmetry R:R is 0.36 — supplementary context, not the trigger for this path.

The strongest dimensions are Value at 8.2, Catalyst at 7.5, and Technical at 7.0; the weakest are Momentum at 2.4, Growth at 3.0, and Risk (lower is worse) at 3.5. The V9 engine flagged 2 failed gates, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 0.36 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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