Counter-case to persistent optical and memory gains: by March 2027, AI spending reductions and weaker supplier orders reverse the pricing or margin gains those campaigns expect.

Watch for: GOOGL SMA20 reclaim (~$363) = bellwether for healthy rotation; NOW follow-through in cRPO and AI ACV = durability test for the repaired software cohort; hyperscaler capex guidance next earnings (MSFT/AMZN/GOOGL/META) = the leading tell (a guide-down flips rotation->reckoning and hits the AI supply leaders MU/AVGO next); golden-cross mega-caps (GOOGL/AAPL/AMZN) rolling into death crosses = quality-dip cohort breaks; breadth winners (RSP/VTV) rolling over = broad de-risking; froth tell (MU +168% above VWAP) breaking its 50-day = digestion reaches the supply side; midterm Q3-bottom seasonality = low-confidence supportive overlay.
