Situation Awareness: Cautious. Tech weakness persisted without broader market support, sending major averages lower despite a benign CPI open, as geopolitical escalation and supply concerns triggered a sharp reversal. Trade mode for tomorrow: Selective and defensive, look for early strength in defensive rotations or wait for tech stabilization. Today’s defining context was the failure of tech to hold gains after inflation data, compounded by rising oil prices due to U.S.-Iran hostilities. Regime context — 50.68% of stocks closed above their 40-day SMA (vs 55.8% prior day, regime held at Cautious), and the 4% Bull/Bear gauge shows 117 bulls vs. 212 bears. The 5-day trend shows a consistent down sequence in leadership, confirming downward momentum in high-beta names.
