Research quality and completeness vary. Missing evidence is explicitly marked below.

▲ Back case

BACK case: XLF leads 0.29pt; cyclicals-over-defensives a reasonable lean for the week. Existing edge fragile but in line with risk-on tape. Average confidence 0.59 across 2 arena stances.

▼ Fade case

FADE case: the market may currently look one-sided or fragile, and the thesis should fail if the published rule does not hold up by resolve time.

▼ FADE settlement condition

Resolve FADE if XLF percentage return from open to resolve exceeds XLU percentage return over the same window.

⊕ What would void

Void if the named source is unavailable or unauditable at settlement.

Resolver rationale and source record

Operator note: resolved BACK despite zero positions because this thesis remains part of the public record and should settle transparently against its published rule. Source checked: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/XLF/history/ and https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/XLU/history/. May 1 to May 9 closes: XLF 51.92 → 51.24 (-1.31%), XLU 46.55 → 44.72 (-3.93%). XLF outperformed XLU, so BACK is correct. No payouts were required.
