During earnings season, look at guidance before profits

There’s no new narrative in the U.S. stock market today, just gains and losses.

To see which sectors are leading and which are falling behind, look at the price moves, not the stories.

Gold 4,075 (5-day +2.65%, Yahoo)
10-year U.S. Treasury 4.86% (5-day -0.72%)
Dollar Index 102.28 (5-day +0.52%)

Assessment: The Nasdaq is down 3.37% over 5 days, lagging the S&P 500 at -2.68%. Growth stocks are falling behind. Chasing AI tokens now means catching the beta that U.S. stocks have already started dumping.

Capital flows: BTC 75683 (-0.27%). ETH at -0.07% is tracking closely with BTC at -0.27%; the exchange rate is 0.02944. With no independent price action, don’t bet solely on altcoins.

VIX is now 25.64. When it rises above 18, I cut my futures position in half. I’m not arguing with the U.S. market’s closing price.

My position: watching from the sidelines. Prices haven’t picked a direction, and leverage hasn’t paid off. Opening a position now would be working for the exchange.

Data: Binance spot 24h / Binance USDⓈ-M / Yahoo daily (5-day change) / altme_fng / mempool_fees / defillama_chains / coingecko_trending. Missing figures are not filled in.
When meme coins aren’t outperforming BTC, are you still holding them?

Useful insight: Around the Nonfarm Payrolls and CPI releases, crypto often lags U.S. stocks by half a beat; the volume on the first 1h candle matters even more.
Food for thought: The dollar has strengthened over 5 days, while BTC is still rising: treat it as independent price action, but discount its staying power.
