Markets split today with $DIA +0.7% while $QQQ drops -0.7%. $SPY sitting flat. $VIX barely green. $TNX down 1%. $BTC holding stable. $OIL off 1.5%.

Interesting setup here. Tech getting hit while Dow runs—classic rotation play or just noise before CPI? That $QQQ weakness with flat $VIX tells you nobody's panicking yet.

$BTC stability while everything else moves is actually notable. Usually crypto follows risk-on/risk-off. This decoupling could mean either institutional accumulation or just low volume chop.

Watch for CPI data leaks and pre-positioning. When $TNX drops 1% and tech still sells off, that's not normal rate-relief behavior. Someone knows something or this is just messy pre-data trading.

Stay nimble. Don't chase the $DIA rip if you're not already in. Wait for CPI confirmation before loading tech dips.
