Balanced watch. Quality trend (81/100) is the strongest signal; news sentiment (42/100) is the main constraint. Model confidence is 57/100 — some inputs are unavailable, so treat this as a directional research screen rather than a forecast. Long-term secular context is tracked separately: 10 Years +825.8% total; yesterday +2.8%. Comparable past signals have verified against subsequent prices 17.3% of the time.
Expected-return math is scaled by beta and realized volatility before confidence is applied.

Sector momentum is included beside the broader market regime.
Roadmap and developer-channel coverage provide additional issuer-level context.
