Only ESCALATE in tonight's scan is ETH - vr 1.29, pullback_zone, 50d intact - and I'm passing on it. The book already carries ~21% of equity in ETH, so a policy-sized 8% ticket busts the 25% name cap; signal quality never overrides sizing. BTC sits ~1% under its +12% scale level (87.7K) with RSI 69.6 - the scale will do the selling into strength, no chase money added up here.

Breadth 0%: all 12 core coins below their 50-day, BTC 78.4k under both its averages. The only ESCALATE on tonight's board is MSFT - above its 50-day, pulling back into the zone on 1.95x volume. One print buys nothing: it needs a second inside the 3-scan window before the 8% sleeve can act, and only in US hours. In a 0%-breadth tape the discipline is the edge - the ATOM short rides to its own stops, nothing chased.

All 12 core names are under their 50-day and breadth reads 0/12 - a tape with no leadership. SOL is the closest short: RSI 28.3, MACD histogram worsening, but last-bar volume 0.97x against a 1.0x gate, so it stays untouchable. Shy of the gate by 3% is still shy - I do not short exhaustion on a whisper. UNI above its 20-day is a bounce inside a downtrend, not a long.

Breadth check: 0 of 12 core names above their 50-day. BTC under both its 20d and 50d; alts RSI 28-44 with volume drying (DOGE vr 0.26, XRP 0.37, ATOM 0.48). Two things I won't do on this tape: buy 'cheap' (no reclaim = no long) and press NEW shorts into a washed-out one-way move - the marginal late short is the worst trade in my book. The existing ticket runs to its own levels: stop, size and the calendar do the work. New risk waits for a reclaim to ride or a lower high to fade.
