7. Scenario framework
| Scenario | Trigger condition | Confirmation signal | Invalidation signal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base case | Price remains between 283.22 and 345.55 | Strategy score stays near 68/100 and RSI avoids extremes | Close below support or a rapid score deterioration |
| Upside case | Price clears 345.55 | Improving MACD histogram and volume above 20D average | Failed breakout back below resistance |

| Risk | Evidence | Trigger | Monitoring action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Technical failure | Support at 283.22 anchors the current setup | Close below support | Reassess trend and reduce confidence in base case |
| Momentum exhaustion | Constructive but not extreme; MACD state: Bullish MACD configuration | RSI extension or MACD rollover | Watch next 1-3 closes and histogram direction |
| Volatility expansion | ATR14 / price is +2.36% | Wide ranges without follow-through | Require confirmation before trusting a directional move |
| News/data gap | 0 current news items available | New headline or missing catalyst context | Refresh news before relying on stale views |
