🧩 Interpretation Notes
- SPX & BTC → Trend still intact but risk of late-entry trap as retail builds.
- NDX & Silver → Most attractive trend profiles. Institutions adding, retail flat.
- Crude & RTY → Clear traps. Retail-heavy with smart money exiting.
- Gold & ETH → High confidence for long continuation or scale-in.
- FX Majors → EUR strong but may peak; JPY remains sell-biased in carry setups.
