Perspectives Status

Perspective Priority Key Update
Iran War & Oil Crisis Critical Oil's first real pullback — $138->$128. RSI 72->59. Strong-up intact but blow-off top may be forming. SaaS massacre creating entries.
War Ends Playbook High Oil pullback + AMZN +10% validates quality laggard thesis. TSLA removed (death cross). AMZN upgraded to primary tech play.
Gulf Infrastructure Strike High NEW. Oil pullback doesn't reduce tail risk — may increase it. Ras Laffan helium/LNG vulnerability.
Crypto-Geopolitics Medium BTC bounce to $72.5K confirms crypto = risk asset. First positive trend in months. $75K = key level.
Gold Recovery Medium Recovery stalled. GLD $437, RSI 50. Dollar firm = headwind. Base building phase.
Oil $200 Scenario Low (monitoring) Downgraded. $200 requires new escalation that hasn't materialized.
