Four Signals That Would Flip the Memory Chip Downturn Call, From ASML China to DRAM

The author's core claim: the market confused convergent timing with convergent causation — China's catalysts happened to land near the trough, so China dominated the narrative even though most of the decline was already in place. His dossier puts the probability of a China-led second leg of the downturn near 7.6%.
He lists four signals that would change the verdict: ASML's China sales falling below 15% with DUV substitution cited; Micron's China revenue dropping over 20% in a single quarter; domestic DUV qualified in production; DRAM prices falling more than 10% for two consecutive months. Research only, not investment advice.
