🔍 What Moved and Why?

Crude, RTY, JPY → Major retail traps reinforced. Smart money fully rotated out as retail chases.
ETH, EUR/USD, Silver → Show clear institutional pickup — flow flip confirms long edge.
SPX → Retail buying into overhead resistance as smart money unwinds — caution warranted.
Gold → Pullback absorbed by quiet smart money flows — neutral resets back to bullish hold.
