move_start (43.5%) is near 72h high and was reached by a 19.5pp spike from 24h-ago price (24.0%). This is a bubble top, not a stable equilibrium. Mean-reverting to this level is structurally unsound.

There is no Logical Divergence, and certainly no Strong Divergence. No ★ DIRECT events (e.g., resignation/removal announcement, nomination sent to Senate, scheduled/held confirmation, or legal suspension) that would satisfy the settlement criteria; headlines are commentary/criticism and market chatter only. Given the near-deadline, the drop is consistent with time-decay absent concrete action, so the move is justified.

Kill switches:
- White House announces Jerome Powell’s resignation effective immediately or by a specified date before May 15, 2026
- President announces a successor and the Senate leadership schedules and fast-tracks a confirmation vote to occur before May 15, 2026
- Federal Reserve or White House states Powell has been removed or suspended pending investigation
- Senate Banking Committee holds an emergency hearing and advances a Fed Chair nomination with a floor vote set before May 15, 2026
- On-record report from a senior official that Powell will step down within days with a successor named before May 15, 2026
