"_intentional_reason": "B7 (2026-05) tightened the registry Elevated band from 25 \u2192 22; this composite alert deliberately keeps the legacy 25 cutoff. The buy-the-dip signal needs a clearly-elevated VIX (>25) as the third leg of the AND-gate (DIX strong + breadth weak + VIX elevated) \u2014 22 catches too much normal mid-cycle wobble to be a useful 'opportunity' confirmation. The band-edge tightening already pulled the alignment.volatility implication earlier; this alert sits one rung above that to gate the contrarian buy signal."

Message template
Potential buying opportunity: strong institutional demand (DIX {dix:.3f}) with elevated fear (VIX {vix_close:.1f}) and washed-out breadth ({pct_above_50sma:.0f}%).Rendered with the current signals dict via Python str.format. Placeholders that fail to resolve fall back to the raw template (see _format_message in app/signals/alerts.py).
Cooldown / dedup
- Cooldown: none. Re-evaluation on every cycle.
- Dedup: at most one
active(oracknowledged) row peralert_idat a time. Re-firing while active updatesfired_atand the message but keeps the originalfirst_fired_at.
Notifies
- Active alert feed (
/api/v1/alerts/active,/alerts/summary). - SSE stream (
/api/v1/agents/stream) for real-time consumers. alert_firedwebhook on first fire.alert_resolvedwebhook when the condition clears (non-cross-detection alerts only).
