Situation Awareness: Bullish. Market character is defined by aggressive risk-on momentum extending into a new week, driven by record-breaking equity closes and a resilient “anti-war” narrative despite geopolitical friction. Trade mode: Aggressive breakout with selective rotation into AI infrastructure and M&A targets. Today’s context is dominated by the ninth consecutive winning week for the S&P 500, with futures pointing higher despite President Trump’s request to amend the Iran deal. Regime context — 51.47% of stocks trade above their 40-day SMA, a contraction from yesterday’s 56.13%, yet the breadth remains supportive of the trend. The 4% Bull/Bear gauge shows 0 bulls vs. 0 bears, indicating a neutral sentiment reset after the weekend, but the 5-day trend shows a consistent up sequence, confirming strong upward momentum.
