🟡 Risk-on uptrend with sharp internal rotation; no breadth break
Key insight
Indices strong-up & near highs while vol collapses (VIXY/VXX RSI 37, -32% 3M); SMH +16% 30D leads, XLE/XLC/GLD/FXI lag
Read: all six green, golden crosses, within ~2.5% of 52wk highs. Small caps (IWM +8.5% 30D) and equal-weight participation healthy — broad, not just mega-cap.
Read: cyclicals (XLK/XLI/XLF) lead; defensives (XLU/XLP/XLV) and rate-sensitive (XLRE) lag. XLE (RSI 34) and XLC (RSI 33, strong-down/death-cross) are the two broken sectors.
Read: credit calm — HYG strong-up and only -1.7% from high; no stress signal. Long bonds (TLT RSI 62) firming on the month but still below SMA200 (-1.3%). Rates backdrop supportive, not a headwind.
Read: energy and precious metals are the macro weak spot — USO -24.9% 30D (RSI 33), SLV -14.3% 30D. Copper (COPX +18% 3M, +110% 1y) holds up structurally despite a -4.9% week. GLD pullback (-24% from high) but still +25% 1y.
Read: vol in a regime-collapse — VIXY/VXX -32% over 3M, -26% below SMA200. Complacent/risk-on tape. Per the VIX-spike playbook this is the calm side, not a fire-sale trigger; watch for any sharp single-day reversal.
Read: ex-US risk appetite strong — EM (EEM +10.7% 30D) and Japan (EWJ RSI 67, +15% 3M) lead. China (FXI RSI 34, -21% from high, strong-down/death-cross) is the global laggard, dragging on broad EM only modestly.
Read: semis (SMH +67% 3M, RSI 64, near highs) remain the engine of the tape. Housing turning up hard on the month (ITB +15.3%, XHB +11.5% 30D) despite still being -11 to -16% from highs — rate-cut-hope rotation. Biotech (XBI breakout, +15% 3M) quietly joining the risk-on leadership.
