Investment implication

The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 3.4 below the 5.6 soft trigger — multiple weakening dimensions accumulated rather than a single hard-floor breach. The strongest dimension ( Catalyst at 7.5) was not enough to lift the adjusted overall above the threshold. Co-occurring failed gates ( MOMENTUM:4.3<4.5, ASYMMETRY:0.0<1.5@spot) reinforce the read. Current asymmetry R:R is 0.04 — supplementary context, not the trigger for this path.

The strongest dimensions are Catalyst at 7.5, Sentiment at 6.4, and Value at 5.8; the weakest are Technical at 3.6, Risk (lower is worse) at 3.8, and Peer rank at 3.8. The V9 engine flagged 2 failed gates with 1 warning, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of 0.04 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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