✅ Titan Protect – Alpha Insights: Titan Lens Companion
🔹 Instrument Set: Indices | Crypto | Commodities | Rates
🛡️ Signal Type: Cross‑Asset Sentiment | Post‑rally Digestion ahead of CPI
📊 Market Overview
• Indices – Yesterday’s melt‑up is fading: SPX ‑0.4 % pre‑mkt, NAS100 ‑0.5 %, still above last week’s range.
• DXY – Firm near 101.6, enough to blunt upside without breaking risk tone.
• VIX – Parked in the low‑teens; first spike likely synchs with the CPI release.
• Yields – 10‑yr grinding toward 4.35 %, curve slowly steepening.
🪙 Crypto Insights
• BTC – Holding ~102 k (‑1.4 %) after an explosive weekly run; digestion not distribution.
• ETH – Firmer tone, ~2.44 k; still out‑performing majors on every dip.
• Futures Basis – Hovers around 7.7 %, signalling healthy leveraged demand despite the pause.
🛢 Commodities Overview
• Gold (XAU) – Snaps back +0.6 % to $3,254 / oz as dollar strength stalls.
• WTI Crude – Steady >$62 / bbl; tariff détente vs. soft demand = stalemate.
• Copper – Slight pull‑back on Shanghai contract yet structure remains constructive.
📌 Key Rotations / Sector Highlights
• Leading: Semiconductors, High‑beta Tech, Materials
• Lagging: Utilities, Staples, Healthcare
• Rotation Bias: Risk‑on but selective; quality growth preferred over broad chase.
🔍 What I’m Watching
• CPI @ 08:30 ET – Hot print = DXY pop & squeeze risk; cool print = second leg higher.
• VIX Compression – Sub‑14 rarely lasts; first expansion sets the week’s tone.
• Levels: NAS100 20,380 reclaim = squeeze, SPX eyeing 5,850 breakout line.
• Cross‑Asset Tell: Crypto resilience vs. dollar – divergence into data will be telling.
✅ Final Word
Momentum still favours the bulls, but next move is data‑driven. I’ll press longs on a cool CPI and fade knee‑jerk upside if structure cracks. Look first / then leap.
This isn’t financial advice — just how I’m framing today’s macro picture with Titan Protect.
