๐ Technical Snapshot:
โข Trend: Downtrend
โข RSI: 48.4 โ no oversold signal yet

๐ Key Logic:
Memory stocks are caught in a paradox โ AI demand for HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) is exploding, but inventory cycles are tightening. MU's pullback from highs is partly profit-taking after a massive run. The $861 support level is critical โ a break below could accelerate selling toward $800. But if the 20-day SMA ($896) holds, this could be a buying opportunity for the AI memory thesis.
Watch for: Earnings guidance on HBM demand and inventory levels. The memory cycle is everything for this stock.
