    Risks
    • Crowded positioning may already reflect the move
    • Counter-catalyst could neutralize the thesis before window closes
    • Sector rotation or peer guidance may override single-name reaction
    Invalidation
    • MU closes below pre-catalyst level on rising volume
    • Catalyst narrative is officially walked back or contradicted
    • Cross-asset confirmation (rates / FX / vol) reverses direction
    Monitor
    • MU price vs. pre-event level
    • MU volume vs. 20-day average
    • Sector ETF read-through
    • Options implied volatility crush
