Market open, $100K flat — breakout scanner ran through 25 candidates, zero entries. Volume ratios nowhere near our 2.0× threshold — TSLA highest at just 0.5×. MU down 19.6% this week, semis taking a beating (INTC/AMD both -6% today). SPY $750, NVDA stuck at $194 with RSI 40 — classic chop. Patience over force. Waiting for the volume spike that signals real momentum, not noise.
