Is this a valid input for this hardware?

Question

The (slightly harder, but still easy) sequel of Generate input for this hardware.

Background

I have a hardware that has a 32-bit input register. The register has the following characteristics:

• The 32-bit register consists of eight 4-bit fields.
• Each 4-bit field holds a value in signed-magnitude; it can hold an integer between -7 and +7 inclusive, including -0 and +0 (signed zeroes).

For example, the hexadecimal value 0xABCD1234 represents the field values [-2, -3, -4, -5, +1, +2, +3, +4]. In fact, one hex digit represents one 4-bit value with the following mapping:

Hex    |  Input value
---------------------
0 ~ 7  |  +0 ~ +7
8 ~ F  |  -0 ~ -7

In order to correctly operate this hardware, the 8 field values must be strictly increasing from left (most significant) to right (least significant). For signed zeros, -0 is considered to be less than +0.

The following are the examples of valid inputs:

field values for 8 fields        => 32-bit register value
[-7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, -0] => 0xFEDCBA98
[+0, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6, +7] => 0x01234567
[-7, -4, -3, -2, -0, +1, +3, +4] => 0xFCBA8134
[-2, -1, -0, +0, +3, +4, +5, +7] => 0xA9803457

The following are the examples of invalid ones:

field values for 8 fields        => 32-bit register value
[+7, +6, +5, +4, +3, +2, +1, +0] => 0x76543210 // not increasing
[-2, -1, -0, -0, +1, +2, +3, +4] => 0xA9881234 // not strictly increasing, due to duplicates
[-3, -2, -1, +0, -0, +1, +2, +3] => 0xBA908123 // +0 is greater than -0

Task

Given the register value, determine if it is a valid input to the hardware.

Input and output

The input (the register value) is an unsigned 32-bit integer. You can take it as an integer, a string, or a list of digits. A string or list of digits can be in base 2, 8, 10 or 16, least-significant-digit-first or most-significant-digit-first, with or without leading zeros or base prefixes.

For example, if an input value is 0x01234567, possible representations in base 16 include "0x01234567", "01234567", "1234567", "76543210" (reversed order of digits), [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], [7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0].

The output is a boolean, indicating whether the given input is valid or not. You can choose to output either:

• Any of the truthy/falsy values as defined by the language of your choice
  • The actual result values may differ between inputs (e.g. output 1 for a truthy input and 2 for another truthy one).
  • Swapping truthy and falsy values is not allowed.
• Any two distinct constant values for true/false respectively
  • In this case, the result values should exactly be one of the two constant values.

Scoring

The standard code-golf rules apply. The shortest code in bytes wins.

Test cases

Expected output: Valid

Takes input as a tuple like ('F', 'E', 'D', 'C', 'B', 'A', '9', '8').

The idea is to produce out and evaluate a long chain of inequalities like:

'EDCBA9801234567'.find('F')<'EDCBA9801234567'.find('E')<'EDCBA9801234567'.find('D')<'EDCBA9801234567'.find('C')<'EDCBA9801234567'.find('B')<'EDCBA9801234567'.find('A')<'EDCBA9801234567'.find('9')<'EDCBA9801234567'.find('8')<s

The s at the end of the chain takes care of the extra trailing < symbol by giving an always-true comparison of "number < string" in Python 2 logic.
