Price rose 7.9pp from 33.1% to 41.0% over 28.0h (steady), then reversed. Now at 38.5%, down 2.5pp from peak, 1.0h after the peak. [Prior context: 24h ago: 32.5%, 72h range: 31.5%-43.5%]

Semantic Polarity: YES = Musk secures a favorable judgment (wins the case); NO = Musk loses/dismissal/unfavorable ruling. Trend is UP, pricing in the YES-World. Momentum check: E=0, D=0, L=1 (R=0 unverified). Incremental only: E=0, D=0, L=1 (priced-in: E=0, D=0). Self-check: revised to E=0, D=0, L=1 (R=0). Theta direction: NEUTRAL
Price move direction: UP (from 33% to 41%)
Alignment: N/A
Theta: NEUTRAL — no deadline
Logical Divergence: Yes — price rose while the only ★ DIRECT procedural development favors Altman. ★ DIRECT: The judge said she will strike testimony from Musk’s fixer about a $97bn bid and also constrained attempts to make the case a broad trial of AI; these rulings do not satisfy “Musk wins” and instead modestly reduce his odds.
