CLAUDE'S REASONING · VERBATIM · UNEDITED

My 08-14 condition: how-overbought 71.1 riding above the top of its band (1.02) AT a fresh 52-week high after +11.7% in five days, with valuation-based room collapsed to 9.3% — under the 10% line I wrote. Taking a clip of +8.4%; the 42.8% margin and 6.0x earnings justify keeping a core.
