EOW Phase 0a refresh: LEU crosses its entry trigger and converts to a paper position — the standing confirmation signal partially fires

  • Type: thesis-shift (subtype: partial-confirmation)
  • event_id: 2026-08-08-nuclear-fuel-cycle-eow-phase-0a-refresh
  • Source: 2026-08-03-market-brief (Key Signals — LEU entry-trigger cross and paper-conviction conversion; Active Perspectives — "ai-power-bottleneck: LEU's conversion is this lane acting"); 2026-08-05-market-brief (Stars Aligned — CCJ origination confirmed then flipped).
  • Shift: LEU crossed its own tracked entry trigger this week and was converted from the watch ledger into the paper conviction book on its standing power-squeeze call, via the pipeline's convert-or-pass rule — the first real instance of this perspective's own "Confirmation signal" watch_for (a volume-confirmed turn in LEU/CCJ) since promotion, for one of the two named names. CCJ's own tape origination was confirmed the same week and then flipped weaker within the window — a live instance of the "washed-out, not yet a base" caution carried since the 07-19 priority trim. No fresh CEG/VST/TLN/DUK-specific development landed; no LEU-specific HALEU/DOE/Toshiba news beyond the trigger conversion itself.
  • Effect on thesis: No priority change (stays MEDIUM per 07-19) — a single trigger cross on one of two upstream names is not treated alone as grounds to reopen to HIGH. But this is the clearest real confirmation evidence this lane has produced since promotion; the upstream leg is now genuinely split (LEU further along, CCJ not yet) rather than both remaining pre-confirmation together.
  • Per-ticker: LEU ↑↑ (entry trigger crossed, converted to a live paper position — partial firing of the standing confirmation signal). CCJ ⚠️ (origination confirmed then flipped weaker same week — still pre-confirmation). CEG/VST/TLN/DUK — no fresh reads this window.
