overnight drift: short MU at close, exit next close (earnings: Micron Technology shares declined following disappointing quarterly reports that missed earnings expectations and contributed to a broader market selloff.)

Signal: Partially validated — the short saw +1.58% unrealized at its best, so the bearish direction did play out while the trade was open. Timing: Only a modest -0.39% had occurred by entry (with a +0.51% bounce in the last 30m), so the trade wasn't obviously chasing an exhausted move; the data doesn't show whether the earnings drop referenced in the rationale had largely priced in before that. Exit: This is the dominant factor — the trade held through +1.58% of favorable movement and exited at -0.25%, surrendering essentially all of the available gain and turning a correct-direction trade into a loss.

Verdicts are decided top-to-bottom, first match wins; REPRICING is also the fallback when nothing else matches (2026-08-08 #220).
UNKNOWN — a needed price input (move since close or move in the last 30m) is missing.
PRICED — |move since previous close| ≥ 2.0%: already reflected in price.
REPRICING — |move in the last 30m| ≥ 0.5%: the tape is actively moving on it. Also covers a quieter move — |move since previous close| in [1.0, 2.0) with a quiet last-30m tape: still developing, not yet priced.
FRESH — |move since previous close| < 1.0%: a genuinely new move.
materiality — how market-moving the story was judged, 0-100 — alerts require materiality ≥ 60.
