The bullish signal was directionally right: while the trade was open, price ran as much as +1.44% in the predicted direction against only -0.47% adverse. Timing was acceptable — entry came after a modest +0.72% pre-move, but that clearly didn't exhaust the move given the subsequent upside. The dominant factor is the exit: the trade closed essentially flat (-$0.20), capturing none of the +1.44% unrealized gain that was available; the data here doesn't show why the exit occurred (stop, timeout, or reversal back to entry), only that nearly all available profit was given back.

S2 counterparty — trades the inferred counterparty ticker (weakest signal, LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same day's close.

Verdicts are decided top-to-bottom, first match wins; REPRICING is also the fallback when nothing else matches (2026-08-08 #220).
UNKNOWN — a needed price input (move since close or move in the last 30m) is missing.
PRICED — |move since previous close| ≥ 2.0%: already reflected in price.
REPRICING — |move in the last 30m| ≥ 0.5%: the tape is actively moving on it. Also covers a quieter move — |move since previous close| in [1.0, 2.0) with a quiet last-30m tape: still developing, not yet priced.
FRESH — |move since previous close| < 1.0%: a genuinely new move.
materiality — how market-moving the story was judged, 0-100 — alerts require materiality ≥ 70.
