Stand aside — hard gate breached
  • 200DMA is not rising — regime not clear.
  • Insiders are net sellers — net purchase ratio -0.63 over the last 180 days (9 selling vs 1 buying). There is no offsetting insider purchase — this is one-way selling.
  • Overlapping range behaviour — efficiency ratio 0.14 vs the 0.15 threshold (borderline, watch for resolution).

Pillar detail, thesis support and invalidation
Regime clarity
  • price above 200DMA
  • 200DMA flat/falling
  • 50DMA rising
  • partial HH/HL structure
  • efficiency ratio 0.14 (overlapping)
Sponsorship / positioning
  • OBV 50d slope -0.060 avg-daily-volumes/bar
  • no OBV divergence at highs
  • OBV fell through last pullback
Volatility behaviour
  • last pullback 26.4% deep
  • no wide downside expansion bars (30d)
  • ATR expanding vs 20d mean
Catalyst alignment (insider)
  • single insider — no cluster (3 Director)
  • net purchase ratio -0.63 (1 buying vs 9 selling)
  • insiders are NET SELLERS over the window
  • NO CFO purchase in the window — the CFO-specific terms score zero
  • other insiders bought $55,306,259 (3 Director) — counted through cluster breadth and net buying only
  • no CFO buy to date — recency not scored
Cross-asset confirmation
  • closest sector ETF: XLF
  • XLF above rising 200DMA (sector-led)
  • XLF vs SPY 6m: -1.4 pts
  • stock vs XLF RS (3m/6m avg): +30.3 pts
What strengthens the thesis
  • A confirmed higher high above 120.05 on expanding OBV.
  • Pullbacks that hold the rising 50DMA with flat-to-rising OBV.
  • XLF extending its own trend while the stock holds relative strength.
What invalidates the thesis
  • Loss of the rising 50DMA (100.29) with expanding volatility — reduce.
  • Breakdown below the prior structural base (83.68) — exit, no averaging down.
  • OBV divergence during a price acceleration — reduce.
  • Sector ETF losing its own 200DMA — remove capital regardless of stock behaviour.
