⚡ SUGGESTED ACTION
Taiwan ETF strength is real but confidence is low (52%) due to conflicting signals: domestic inflows vs. global selloff. The move may already be partially priced into Taiwan equities. Avoid chasing; wait for clearer separation between Taiwan outperformance and global stabilization before committing capital. [MOVE:0.8%]
