US stock momentum watch: where are the leading troops?

Don’t use last week’s rate-cut story to explain today’s market.

Use today’s highs and lows for technical levels; don’t force-fit old support that won’t hold.

VIX 15.31 (5-day -4.73%)
Nasdaq 27,191 (5-day +0.45%, Yahoo)

BTC 24h high 87220 / low 83888, current price 84633. VIX 15.31—volatility is being suppressed. In this position, US stocks are prone to a slow grind higher. In crypto, don’t use US stock gains to add leverage. Once VIX pops, futures contracts will die first.

ETH -2.21% moves in lockstep with BTC -1.99%, with the exchange rate at 0.03171. If there’s no independent move, don’t single-commit to shitcoins.

In crypto, focus on just one thing: whether BTC can close above the 24h high of 87220. If it can’t, chasing the upside is just talk.

My positioning: I don’t catch the first knife. Until the drawdown has not yet resulted in positions decreasing, left-side entries are basically catching falling knives.
