Tight displayed spread; depth and partial-fill risk still matter.

Data confidence 76% · priority 0

Since latest large flow: -3.0pp at executable prices.

Priority ranks review urgency; it is not probability or expected value.

Risks / missing evidence
  • Executable quote is 15 minutes old.
  • Observed tape is 27 minutes old.
  • Less than 20h remains; resolution risk is elevated.

The read weakens if 1h flow flips away from YES or execution deteriorates.
