Situation Awareness: Cautious. The session navigated a geopolitical shock from U.S.-Iran military strikes that briefly spiked oil above $92, only to reverse sharply into a record-breaking close driven by a 60-day ceasefire MOU and a tech-led rally. Trade mode for tomorrow: Selective and defensive, looking for early strength in AI software while monitoring oil stability. Today’s defining context was the “stagflation scare” from April PCE data (Core PCE +3.3% YoY) which failed to derail the market due to weak GDP growth (1.6%) and the geopolitical de-escalation. Regime context — 56.1% of stocks closed above their 40-day SMA (vs 60.0% prior day, regime held at Cautious), and the 4% Bull/Bear gauge shows 317 bulls vs. 68 bears. The 5-day trend shows a consistent up sequence, confirming upward momentum despite intraday volatility.
