Feasibility Ratio0.84x EMThreshold: ≤ 1.25x EM

Long Wing Barrier$270.00Structural floor intact

Feasibility Rule Status: Feasible (Recovery Projected). The required move to breakeven (1.12%) represents only 84% of the statistical expected move over the remaining holding window, meaning mean reversion remains highly feasible.
