What are large caps waiting for? Worth unpacking.

Today, the US stock market has no new narrative, just percentage moves.

Technical levels are calculated using today's highs and lows; don't force-fit old support levels.

10-year US Treasury yield 5.10% (5-day +5.02%)
Dow 52,297 (5-day +1.50%, Yahoo)

BTC 24h high 74254 / low 71255, current price 71481. The dollar is strong, up 1.52% over 5 days; BTC is down 3.70%. They’re moving in opposite directions. Don't talk about a reversal until the dollar turns around.

ETH is down 2.64%, outperforming BTC at -3.70%, with an exchange rate of 0.02816. This looks like risk appetite spilling over, not BTC acting alone.

VIX is now 18.70. If it rises above 18, I'll cut my futures position in half. I'm not going to argue with the US closing price.

My position: I don't try to catch the first knife. Until the decline is accompanied by falling open interest, going long early is just catching a falling knife.

Key takeaway: Before and after a mainnet upgrade, gas and bridge failures come before price narratives.
Insight: ETH weaker than BTC: capital is contracting, so altcoins should pause before making their move.

For context: people are discussing “bitcoin OR stock market OR US stocks” - Google News. I treat it only as background; my conclusions are still based on the numbers in the main text.
