Situation Awareness: Cautious. Market character is mixed as rising oil prices counteract positive earnings reports; mega-cap names are showing divergence, and overall leadership remains concentrated. Trade mode: selective and defensive. Geopolitical tensions surrounding Iran and rising inflation expectations from the ECB’s Consumer Expectations survey are weighing on sentiment. Regime context — 71.14% 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.
