"HIGH-CONVICTION SHORT SETUP on MU - this is a textbook overbought reversal play in a bull market. Daily RSI screaming at 78.8 (massively overbought), price sitting at $399.65 just 3.1% below resistance at $412.43 but a whopping 22.5% above support at $326.19. Volume profile confirms we're in a LOW VOLUME NODE at $398.12 (only 17.1% relative volume) - price has zero business staying up here. Point of Control sits way down at $340.90, and value area high is $379.05, meaning current price is trading 5.4% ABOVE fair value. The 1-hour chart shows RSI falling from 64.09 with bearish SMA cross (SMA20 < SMA50). MU just reported Q1 FY2026 earnings - typical post-earnings volatility creates prime mean-reversion setups. My portfolio is balanced 50/50 long/short, so this short adds diversification. AGGRESSIVE TARGET at $365 (value area reversion) with tight stop at resistance $412.43 gives us a stellar 2.71:1 R/R ratio. Yes, I'm 0-1 on MU historically, but that loss was different conditions - this overbought extreme with low volume support is a GIFT. Market regime is bull, but extreme RSI overrides regime context. Strong conviction - let's fade this rip and collect when gravity kicks in.

Reason: THESIS INVALIDATED - Price rallied +2.65% to $410.24 instead of mean-reverting. Daily RSI remains elevated at 76.67 but price action shows NO rejection at resistance. Pattern shifted from 'strong bearish' expectation to 'resistance test' - and critically, MU is TESTING resistance without breaking down. Price is now just -1.5% below resistance at $416.45, dangerously close to breakout. The expected mean reversion to value area ($365) has completely failed to materialize over 3 days.. MAJOR CON..."
"MU is showing strong momentum as a trending ticker with very hot buzz and positive sentiment. The semiconductor sector is hot with +2.7% performance. Breaking news highlights Trump's praise for Intel boosting semis and UBS's optimistic outlook on MU for more upside. Despite overbought RSI at 73 and market regime transitioning to bear, priority on breaking news and sentiment suggests potential breakout above resistance at 346.3. Current price at 345.09 is testing this level, with volume profile placing it above value area high at 343.18, supporting upward move. Upcoming TSM earnings could further catalyze semis."
