What would prove it wrong
This reading would be overturned if the NBP's coming July projection round moves the return-to-target date to 2027 Q4 or later (versus the March round's mid-2027), or if an identified alternative driver (fiscal, capital, single-name) is shown to explain the WIG-BANKI move instead of the rate-cut premise.
Next test
the NBP's July 2026 projection round, once published: a return-to-target date of 2027 Q4 or later would count against this reading

How it settled
The record-setting WIG20/WIG20-wide rally on 3 Aug, spanning nearly all sectors, indicates a broad equity-momentum driver rather than a bank-sector-specific rate-cut premise, satisfying the falsifier's alternative-driver condition; the prior reading's dismissal of this as merely 'predating' the record failed to engage with the market-wide nature of the move.
