MU

Summary

Hold MU (Micron Technology, Inc.) existing exposure; add nothing pre-print. Our analysis favors waiting for a settled close above upper Bollinger 1060.62 to confirm breakout or a controlled pullback toward 999-983 (10-day 999.13/VWAP 983.25) then 971 to reassess. Position sizing remains small/no new money reflecting 49.5 range, beta 2.22, and 88.9% IV into fiscal Q4 next week; defined-risk only if playing earnings. Invalidation on settled closes back below 983-999 and especially 924-926 base. Time horizon is 5 trading days through earnings binary.
