Situation Awareness: Cautious-Bearish. The market posted modest gains across major indices (S&P +0.4%, Nasdaq +0.5%, DJIA +0.4%) amid heightened geopolitical caution tied to unresolved U.S.–Iran ceasefire talks and President Trump’s Tuesday 8 p.m. ET deadline warning. The S&P 500 and DJIA remained pinned just below their 200-day moving averages, while the Nasdaq Composite lagged further behind — consistent with the Cautious-Bearish regime. Trade mode for tomorrow: selective and defensive, look for early strength but stay flat until directionality clears. Today’s defining context: ceasefire optimism faded after Iran rejected a temporary deal, and oil spiked to $112.25 before trimming gains. Regime context — 36.0% of stocks closed above their 40-day SMA (vs 32.1% prior day, regime held at Cautious-Bearish), and the 4% Bull/Bear gauge shows 139 bulls vs. 57 bears. The 5-day trend turned up 3 of 5 days, signaling early recovery, though leadership remains narrow and oil-geopolitical sensitivity remains dominant.
