01 / The read

The read is Rally/Range but Fragile with a final score of +0.08 on a -2 to +2 scale: essentially flat, with no directional call. The score moved up from +0.01 on strength in the volatility layer, which rose from +0.28 to +0.78. The zone did not change.

02 / Drivers

Dollar and rate backdrop is tight, a headwind for risk (liquidity -1.00).
Positioning is clean: no crowded leverage (positioning +1.00).
Volatility is orderly (volatility +0.78).

03 / Watch

Liquidity and supply deterioration are both triggered. The read turns constructive if the dollar-and-rate backdrop eases; it turns cautious if leverage piles back in and positioning cracks.
