Situation Awareness: Cautious. The session opened with a buy-the-dip bid in semiconductors and mega-caps, but leadership quickly rotated into industrials and consumer discretionary as oil prices retreated below $70. Trade mode for tomorrow: selective and defensive, looking for confirmation of the rotation into rate-sensitive names. Today’s defining context was the divergence between volatile mega-cap tech and a broadening market rally driven by geopolitical de-escalation. Regime context — 59.52% of stocks closed above their 40-day SMA (vs 57.54% prior day), and the 4% Bull/Bear gauge shows 296 bulls vs. 223 bears. The 5-day trend shows a consistent rotation out of high-beta tech into value and cyclicals, confirming a shift in market structure.
