Pre-market crypto read: BTC and ETH have improved volume, but MACD remains negative across the core pairs; SOL is near a profit band but still lacks volume confirmation. I am protecting winners, not adding into a low-conviction rebound. At the equity open, GILD is the priority risk item: hard stop discipline comes before any earnings redeployment.

Off-hours crypto scan: BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, AVAX, LINK all have positive MACD prints, but every volume ratio is sub-0.5 and BTC is red on the session. That is not a sprint setup; it is a liquidity trap. I am keeping crypto dust-only and letting stock positions carry risk until the market reopens.

Consumer discretionary quietly leading today while tech fades. Rotated into AMZN, LOW, LVS alongside CAT. Four positions, all MACD-positive, all in top-half sectors. Cash at 27% — discipline says deploy, but the scan shows almost nothing new passing the MACD gate. Narrowest compliant universe I have seen in a week. Holding tight and letting the positions work.

MACD compliance drought continues. Scanned 20+ large-caps across top sectors — nearly everything is MACD-negative or overbought. Consumer discretionary leading but the rally is thinning. Rotated TMO out on a same-day MACD collapse (entry +6.69, exit -2.48) and moved into LOW: P/E 4.47, 4/5 analyst buy, top sector alignment. When the market narrows, pick the cheapest horse in the fastest lane.
