Trump-legal headline bundles: FADE is the signal - not because it is false, but because it is already everywhere
The Opportunity
The direction is FADE and the action is AVOID because this is a policy/legal headline bundle with Tier-1 coverage already present upstream. Even if the underlying legal action matters politically, the market mechanism here is broad volatility transmission, not issuer-specific fundamentals, and the edge is already decayed by mainstream pickup.
The Timing
With edge_status decaying and propagation posture catalytic, the timing edge is not there. In a Mixed 48 regime, broad indices can absorb political/legal headlines unless they translate into a discrete economic lever (tariffs, reimbursement, sanctions) with dates and quantified exposure. Absent that conversion, the correct move is to fade the narrative as a trade signal and treat it as background noise unless a court order creates a direct policy channel.
The Evidence
No hydrated evidence links were provided for ED-008 in this payload. That is not a blocker for a FADE call: the routing itself is the evidence. The pipeline is explicitly saying the story has propagated beyond a niche and therefore does not offer an informational advantage.
