Market Prism's verdict on ASML

Market Prism classifies ASML as an Exhausted Narrative — the story that powered the move has burned through most of its attention and momentum. Narrative energy remains elevated at 71%, so the story still has momentum.

When a narrative exhausts, the marginal buyer disappears. Price tends to drift lower or stall until a genuinely new catalyst resets the story. The 79.8% fundamental-value deviation is extreme and, historically, tends to revert within 30–60 trading days.
