🧭 Top Charts of the Week
SPY: $595.93
No charts today due to an Internet issue we are having. I can’t pull up the charts as a result.
QQQ: $527.30
🧭 Risk-On Flows
Fresh Tape
Spot-Bitcoin ETFs (Farside):
Mon 2 Jun: -$130.4 M (outflow)
Tue 3 Jun: +$58.0 M (inflow)
Wed 4 Jun: -$197.0 M (outflow)
Net for the three sessions: -$269 M. The back-to-back red prints paused Tuesday, but today’s -$197 M shows the bid is still tentative.
U.S. equity ETFs: Tuesday saw -$410 M: SPY -$205 M, QQQ +$138 M, DIA -$90 M—dip-buyers selective.
High-yield funds: Lipper weekly +$310 M as real yields edge lower; coupon hunters still nibble.
Money-market funds: ICI week to 4 Jun -$7.9 B—seventh straight outflow, though the bleed is slowing.
Alt-coin ETPs: +$18 M as traders rotate into ETH-staking and RWA names like ONDO.
Read-through: Liquidity is tip-toeing out of cash, but the higher-beta crypto trade keeps wobbling—allocators prefer quality credit and defensives while they wait for Friday’s payroll print.

🧭 Sovereignty Signal
Dollar Plateau, Bond Bid
DXY stuck at 98.8-99.2 even with softer data; foreign buyers happy to stay in Treasuries, not the currency itself.
10-yr < 4.40%, 30-yr < 5% while refunding calendar looms; suggests reserve managers buying the dip, expecting Fed backstop.
Gold $3.372 k edges higher on real-yield drop; ETF inflows +$742 m in two sessions.
Second e-CNY crude lot cleared this week; Dubai quotes rumored in yuan for August delivery; small yet steady.
BTC dominance climbs to 64.2% even on price dip, showing hedge allocations sticky.
Triggerboard
DXY closes > 101 → global tightening alert.
10-yr breaks 4.55 % → deficit premium wakes; gold & BTC rally historically.
Gold > $3.40 k weekly close → signals sovereign hedge rotation accelerating.

📌 Key Takeaways
Weak ADP + widening trade gap knocked yields; stocks largely shrugged.
Dollar paused under 99, giving growth sectors breathing room.
Bitcoin and gold diverged: crypto soft on ETF outflows, metal bid on lower real yields.
Flows show quiet rotation: cash leaks from T-Bills into quality credit and defensive tech.
Thursday’s 10-yr reopening and Friday’s payrolls now the decisive catalysts.
📅 Watchlist & Triggers
SPY: Need > 600 for breakout; < 588 opens 574 gap.
BTC: > 110 k revives bulls; < 102 k trips 97-98 k air-pocket.
WTI: Over 64 targets 67; under 60 emboldens bears before OPEC+.
DXY: > 101 throttles risk; < 98 lights reflation trades.
💬 Final Thought
Soft labor data eased yields, but the dollar’s refusal to crack 98 warns liquidity isn’t free yet. Into NFP, think nimble: rent upside, own optionality, keep dry powder for any data-driven gap.
