Signal Table
| market | belief_id | claim | prob | dir | vel | horizon | kill_switch | fragility |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| gold | B-GOLD-001 | Gold futures lack a clear directional bias because the admitted gold-linked signals are stale versus the 30d window and not reinforced by fresh evidence. | 56 | mixed | fading | 24h | false | 72 |
| gold | B-GOLD-002 | Physical/trade/logistics disruption narratives around gold can intermittently create upside pressure, but the current evidence base is too old to treat as a live catalyst. | 51 | up | fading | 6h | false | 72 |
| gold | B-GOLD-003 | ETF/options/positioning chatter (e.g., GLD-linked) is insufficiently sourced in the admitted set and therefore should not be treated as directional confirmation. | 60 | flat | stable | 24h | false | 72 |
