AGX is a strong-fundamentals name (fundamental leg 69, a +40.3% earnings surprise) sitting in a high-readiness entry zone (88 STRONG SETUP) that Orca will not confirm — the daily lane is WATCH at 0% size. The read turns on an unresolved technical divergence: the conviction blend's EMA leg reads 88 while the fixed-threshold absolute score's technical leg reads just 2 with a DOWN Markov trend (83% persistence), so the machinery disagrees with itself on the tape. Until that resolves and a trigger fires, this is a watch, not a lean.

Invalidated if: A confirmed breakout trigger with the Markov state flipping UP would turn this bullish; conversely a close that resolves the entry zone downward or a HOLD downgrade to PASS confirms the neutral-to-weak read.
