Investment implication

The F-path SELL output reflects an overall score of 4.0 below the 5.6 soft trigger — multiple weakening dimensions accumulated rather than a single hard-floor breach. The strongest dimension ( Peer rank at 7.8) was not enough to lift the adjusted overall above the threshold. Co-occurring failed gates ( ASYMMETRY:-2.0=NEGATIVE) reinforce the read. Current asymmetry R:R is -2.01 — supplementary context, not the trigger for this path.

The strongest dimensions are Peer rank at 7.8, Momentum at 6.5, and Catalyst at 6.4; the weakest are Technical at 3.8, Sentiment at 4.1, and Risk (lower is worse) at 4.6. The V9 engine flagged 1 failed gate, producing an asymmetric reward-to-risk of -2.01 and an engine sizing output of AVOID.

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