TSMC shares plunged over 7% in Asian trading despite reporting blockbuster earnings and raising sales growth forecasts, as a broader tech rout and fading AI exuberance triggered a sell-off in semiconductor stocks.
verdict REPRICING, direction bearish -> sell NVDA (earnings: TSMC shares plunged over 7% in Asian trading despite reporting blockbuster earnings and raising sales growth forecasts, as a broader tech rout and fading AI exuberance triggered a sell-off in semiconductor stocks.)
Retro: The entry leaned on cross-asset sympathy (TSMC selling off despite strong fundamentals) rather than any NVDA-specific signal, and it basically worked by luck — a +0.78% scratch win that captured less than half the +1.66% max favorable excursion before giving most of it back. Calling this "REPRICING" is generous; strong earnings plus a sentiment-driven dip is more often a fade setup than a trend, so the verdict fired on ambiguous evidence.
Improvement: Require peer-driven bearish REPRICING verdicts to be confirmed by the traded ticker itself — e.g., NVDA must break below its prior session low or gap down >1% before entry — otherwise downgrade to no-trade. Separately, add a trailing-stop or partial-take rule at ~1% unrealized, since letting +1.66% decay to +0.78% halved the payoff on a correct call.

S2 counterparty — trades the inferred counterparty ticker (weakest signal, LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same day's close.

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.
