A few casual thoughts before the U.S. market opens

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

I'm not guessing price levels today—just looking at the numbers already on the board.

Crude oil 86.18 (5-day -5.12%, Yahoo)
S&P 7,619 (5-day -0.90%, Yahoo)

What that means: The 10-year Treasury yield is at 5.00%, up another +3.33% over 5 days. The long end is draining liquidity, and valuation stories for growth stocks and BTC both have to take a back seat.

BTC 74002, 24h volume $1.19 billion. ETH/BTC 0.02781. ETH +0.22% is moving in lockstep with BTC +0.29%, with the exchange rate at 0.02781. With no independent momentum, don't bet solely on altcoins.

Looking ahead: The next thing to watch is whether the 10-year yield can level off. If yields keep rising, I'll treat any rebound in growth stocks and BTC as a pullback.

My position: Sitting on the sidelines. Prices haven't picked a direction, and leverage hasn't paid off. Opening a position now would mean working for the exchange.

Are you still holding memes when they can't outperform BTC?

Useful takeaway: Watch for sustained large ETF net inflows; treat a one-day spike as noise.
Thought: When the large-trader long/short ratio is clearly higher than the all-account ratio, you can follow the direction, but don't go all in.

Additional context: People out there are discussing “bitcoin OR stock market OR U.S. stocks - Google News.” I treat that only as background; the conclusion is still based on the figures in the main text.

Personal opinion; figures are from the sources listed in the main text. This is not a trading instruction.
