The current session is being shaped by index concentration and macro sensitivity. Our base case remains conditional on breadth stability and contained volatility.

If leadership narrows further while rates and dollar pressure build, we reduce gross risk and keep execution windows short. If participation expands with stable volatility, continuation setups become higher quality.

Execution framework for today: trade only where invalidation is explicit, avoid forced counter-trend entries, and size by clarity rather than conviction.
