⚡ SUGGESTED ACTION

SKIP THIS TRADE. The earnings miss is real but small in magnitude, and the dominant driver is the broad market panic (VIX +13%). Any move in MNPR will be noise within sector rotation. Wait for VIX to stabilize before trading small-cap biotech on fundamentals. [PRICED_IN] [MOVE:2.5%]
