Bull and bear evidence

A token's readout weighs its fired signals into two sides, bull and bear. Each family's pull on either side is capped, so three rules that read the same observation can't stack into a verdict on their own.

Which side outweighs the other, and by how much, sets the line the readout leads with: "Buyers have the upper hand", "Buyers have a slight edge", "Neither side has the edge", "Sellers have a slight edge" or "Sellers have the upper hand". With no directional signal at all it says "Nothing crossed a threshold".

The words describe evidence in the data the rules read: who had the upper hand in it.

They are not a recommendation and not a forecast.

1. 1

   Per family and side, its fired signals count toward that side, more for the ones that fired strongly, up to the family's cap.

2. 2

   The gap between the two sides picks the lean: a clear edge, a slight one, or balanced, the same either way. Because each family is capped, a clear edge takes evidence from more than one family.

3. 3

   The signal-evidence market card ranks tokens by the same weighing, from the snapshot's per-token signals.

HighShape, not data

Bull evidence outweighs bear across families.

LowShape, not data

Bear evidence outweighs bull across families.

RisingShape, not data

The balance moving toward the buyers' side as rules fire or clear.

FallingShape, not data

The balance moving toward the sellers' side.

Evidence in the data, never advice

• Evidence, not advice: the lean says which side the rules found, not what to do.
• Context rules never move the balance; they say where price sits.
• The cap means a token with five cost-basis signals and nothing else reads no further than one strong family.
