🧠 Titan Commentary
- Crude Oil shows a mature trap — retail is still long despite institutional exit. Expect further downside volatility.
- RTY remains deeply retail-held with no hedger support. Best viewed as a fade candidate.
- SPX is entering late-phase long crowding — especially dangerous with VIX bid and summer range compression.
- Silver continues to outperform Gold, with smart money building and retail staying absent.
- ETH and NDX show stable institutional support — ideal environments for confident trend continuation.
