🧠 Flow Interpretation
- Crude + RTY + USD/JPY form this week’s textbook traps, with clear divergence and no smart money support.
- Silver + ETH + NDX continue to show smart money flow leadership, clean long opportunities persist.
- SPX flow appears trapped in volatility, with retail buying into resistance — partial exit advised.
- BTC shows incipient divergence — not yet clean, but scanner logic now aligning.
- EUR/USD faces a soft top risk, though smart money hasn’t reversed. Tread carefully.
