The Catalyst
“A rapid repricing in MU triggered forced de-risking as liquidity thinned and investors extrapolated short-term stress into a permanent impairment narrative. Positioning became one-sided into the panic window, driving drawdowns beyond what subsequent fundamentals justified. **Macro Context:** 10Y Treasury Yield: 4.52% **Earnings Context:** Reported EPS $1.79 vs Est $1.77 (Surprise: 1.1299%)”
The Aftermath
“The thesis shifted as realized data stabilized and liquidity conditions normalized, undermining the worst-case assumptions embedded at the lows. As forced sellers exhausted and expectations reset, MU repriced higher with improving risk appetite and better forward visibility.”

Anatomy of the Crash
Sentiment Breakdown & Strategic Pivot Points
Stage 01: The Fear
At the lows, sentiment was capitulatory and flow was dominated by forced deleveraging, downgrades, and recession-style positioning. The market effectively priced a near-worst-case path, with drawdown conditions near -11.7% from the local pre-event level.
Stage 02: The Turnaround
The thesis shifted as realized data stabilized and liquidity conditions normalized, undermining the worst-case assumptions embedded at the lows.
Stage 03: Opportunity
The selloff was an overreaction: panic pricing implied durable impairment, but realized outcomes were materially better than the trough consensus. From the panic low to the current level, the asset recovered roughly 410.4% after a drawdown of about -11.7%, illustrating how forced selling detached price from fundamentals.
