Situation Awareness: Correction. Market character is defined by fading geopolitical optimism after Trump’s Iran negotiation claims, oil price rebound from yesterday’s 10% plunge, and futures retreating despite Monday’s rally that lifted the S&P 500 and DJIA above their 200‑day moving averages but failed to close above key resistance. Trade mode: defensive and selective, waiting for confirmation before committing capital. Today’s specific context: subdued economic calendar, mixed PMI data, rising Treasury yields, and limited earnings flow keep participants on the sidelines. Regime context — 0% of stocks trade above their 40‑day SMA, and the 4% Bull/Bear gauge shows 0 bulls vs. 0 bears. The 5-day trend shows a consistent down sequence, confirming downward momentum.
