🧠 Sentiment Snapshot

CoinCodex Sentiment: 50 (Neutral)
🧠 Concept Spotlight:
Yield-Creep Compression
Since 2014, when the 10-year yield rises 5 bp+ intraday while SPY closes down but still holds within 1% of its 20-day average (today’s setup), the next two sessions show:
SPY median rebound of +0.45 %
Bitcoin median drift of +0.8 %
DXY often stalls or retraces part of the move
The pattern suggests rising-yield jitters rarely break the tape on a first push; instead, dip-buyers test support once bond sellers pause. Watch Monday’s open: if the 10-year slips back under 4.35%, the odds favor a quick equity snap-back. If yields press higher, 590 on SPY becomes the stress test.

📌 Key Takeaways
Yields pushing higher. Risk assets reacted but support levels held.
Gold and crypto stable amid rising yields and dollar strength.
Flows remain positive, suggesting structural conviction not short-term fear.
Neutral sentiment supports range trading, not reckless positioning.
Heads-up: Tuesday’s retail sales and next Fed meeting will challenge current complacency.
📅 Watchlist & Triggers
SPY: below 590 risks deeper dip; reclaiming 600 would reaffirm bullish tilt.
QQQ: stay above 525 to sustain tech momentum; drop under 520 invites caution.
Bitcoin: sub-102K risks 100K test; reclaim 106K above for fresh upside.
WTI: >75 fuels energy rally; <72 cools cyclical theme.
DXY: >100 caps all risk; <98 reignites reflation mood.
💬 Final Thought
Today’s narrative: coupon cuts confirmed, long-term tone not changed. Markets shrugged, choosing to hold in range as they await fresh catalysts. With neutral sentiment and steady flows, lean into structure, not hype. Trade clear, trade calm.
