Signal vs. Noise

The data on $US30 is genuinely conflicted right now. Some sources are flagging upside catalysts while others are highlighting risks. When even our multi-source engine can't find consensus, that's a signal in itself: stay flat or reduce size until clarity emerges.

Our signal engine requires multi-source convergence before publishing a call. Right now, we're at 2 out of 3 confirmations. We'll publish if and when the final piece falls into place.
