- Counter-catalyst could neutralize the thesis before window closes
- TSM closes below pre-catalyst level on rising volume
- Catalyst narrative is officially walked back or contradicted
- Cross-asset confirmation (rates / FX / vol) reverses direction
- TSM price vs. pre-event level
- TSM volume vs. 20-day average
