Connection thesis
Mega-cap tech earnings drops (MSFT 10-K 2026-07-29, META/AMZN 10-Q 2026-07-30) coincide with Trump de-escalation headline (Hamas disarmament deal, obs 650094). Risk-on sentiment typically bids mega-cap earnings beats. MSFT's prior four-window validation shows consistent +14.6bps outperformance vs SPY in earnings-driven regimes. This is NOT a multi-factor narrative (tariff + geopolitical + earnings): it is a single dominant catalyst—earnings surprise magnitude paired with sentiment drift from de-escalation (narrower risk premium). My MSFT record is 0.69 win (118 calls), the strongest in portfolio. FALSIFY condition: if MSFT matches or underperforms SPY over the 48h window despite 10-K landing, the thesis breaks.
