High volatility expected
CEO decision on March 30 creates binary outcome risk (retention vs. replacement). Political/worker pressure suggests governance instability, but market reaction depends on board's choice and market expectations. Too uncertain for directional conviction.

⚡ SUGGESTED ACTION
Wait for March 30 board decision or clearer pre-announcement signals. Current uncertainty does not justify directional trades; VOLATILE is the honest call. Monitor for any board leaks or political statements that might telegraph the outcome. [MOVE:2.5%]
