The story
SK Hynix and Micron have both crossed the $1 trillion valuation mark as AI-driven demand for HBM and high-bandwidth memory accelerates, with MU up ~19% today alone.

The house read
Wrong ifTrade fails if Micron drops a surprise guidance raise or NVDA announces expanded HBM orders, either of which could keep the memory rally running well past the $1T milestone and squeeze any short position hard.
