When you look at absolute values, the market is ripping. When you look at it through fractal math, it’s not changing—just bouncing off the low end of the RANGE in bearish TRENDS. Let’s see what’s actually changed on today’s fractal map.

VIX

VIX finally closed above TREND and with enough strength to break the bearish structure. Now it’s overrunning bullish TRADE TREND, with TRADE going all the way down to 17.91.

This isn’t a strong signal either way right now, but before yesterday it was a fairly strong bearish one—so on a rate-of-change basis, it got materially weaker.

MOVE

MOVE is dancing around TREND as well. Waiting and watching here. Month-end markup is here—seeing how tomorrow and Monday close will bring clarity.

HYG

So as volatility shifts a bit, credit has absolute clarity: bounce off the low end of the RANGE in bearish TREND.

QQQ

Nasdaq up 3% sounds great… until you see the fractal structure. If it bounces another 2.8%, it’s a great short.

S&P 500

S&P flipped bearish TRADE TREND, now back at TREND. This isn’t a long signal.

Sector Signals

SMH

Everyone getting hammered in AI wants their bubble back. Math isn’t giving it to them. Don’t listen to the people saying AI is still “cheap.” Things in bearish TRENDS get cheaper until the math flips.

SNDK

Sandisk is up 24% today, and it hasn’t changed the math one bit. If you got short from where the math told you on July 23rd, it’s still down 21% and RANGE is now inside of TREND, gaining bearish strength. Not a long.

MSFT

Reduce into earnings yesterday? Math flipped bullish TRADE telling you to. Then said to exit completely on the open—4% lower than it is right now.

TSLA

Consumer Discretionary hasn’t changed. Still needs to bounce another 13% to short the top end of the RANGE.

NFLX

Netflix remains a short.

MAGS

Same with the Mag 7, creating headwinds for indexes like the S&P.XLV

XLV

Sell some healthcare outside the top end of the RANGE? You should have—math was clear.

Macro Markets

TLT

TLT did exactly what the math said it should do: reject the top end of the RANGE in bearish TREND. Now time to sell some at the low end of the RANGE.

Oil

Oil is dancing in the middle of the RANGE as the TRADE and TREND are now in the lower half of the RANGE with room to the top end. Again, this isn’t a strong signal (a strong signal is defined as TRADE TREND outside the RANGE), but still one to analyze daily.

UUP

Dollar had the biggest move on the day yesterday but still has the low end of the RANGE to fight to close bearish TRADE, and TREND is still over a percent below RANGE.

GLD

Even with this move in the dollar, gold is holding bearish TRADE TREND at the top end of the RANGE. Not a long signal. Be patient until the math changes to go long—it’s been a short since March 13th.

BTC

Once again, Bitcoin is holding bullish TRADE, keeping it together as this volatility storm hits. Not a long or short until either TRADE or TREND breaks.
