US stock technicals: look at position first, then direction
Don’t use last week’s interest-rate cut story to explain today’s market.
The board shows the numbers first; then we talk about views.
US Dollar Index 102.11 (5-day -0.05%)
Dow 51,232 (5-day +0.60%, Yahoo)
S&P 7,765 (5-day +1.29%, Yahoo)
My take: VIX is 15.41, volatility is being suppressed. At this kind of positioning, US stocks are prone to a slow grind higher. In crypto, don’t use US stock upside to lever up—once VIX pops, the contracts die first.
Crypto comparison: BTC 81,886 (24h -1.82%), ETH 2,481 (-3.72%). ETH’s 24h drop (-3.72%) is weaker than BTC’s (-1.82%). FX rate is 0.0303. Funds are shrinking toward BTC; altcoins on the right side should wait and observe.
Next: what to watch. In crypto, we only focus on one thing: whether BTC can close above the 24h high of 83,521. If it can’t, chasing higher is just talk.
My position: I’m not catching the first knife. Until the selloff converts into a reduction in holdings, anything on the left side is catching a falling blade.
Data: Binance spot 24h / Binance USD-m / Yahoo daily (5-day up/down). If something is missing, we don’t fill it in.
Are you currently in cash waiting for a pullback, or already on the train?
