Risk regime · reading the tapeNeutral
The one thing today
Equities are charging higher on disinflation tailwinds, but crypto lags with mixed momentum — a decisive break above BTC's recent range would confirm the risk-on shift, while a VIX spike above 20 would flip the script.
60Neutral
BearishNeutralBullish
Macro conditions are clearly risk-on: the dollar and yields are easing, oil is falling, and stocks are hitting new highs. Crypto, however, remains in a neutral zone with BTC dominance steady and altcoin momentum weak, preventing a unified cross-asset bullish signal. The overall neutral momentum score (60) reflects this divergence, and until digital assets join the rally, the market is not fully aligned.

⚑︎What would change my mindconfirmations & flip-risks
✓Confirmation: Current cross-asset tailwinds (softer dollar, lower yields, cheap oil) remain supportive for risk assets, consistent with the bullish equity regime.
⚠︎Flip risk: A hawkish surprise from the Fed or a sharp reversal in yields (10Y above 4.75%) would challenge the disinflation narrative and could trigger a risk-off shift.
⚠︎Flip risk: A VIX spike above 20 or a break of SPX 200DMA would signal sentiment deterioration, outweighing the current macro tailwinds.

CPI Make-or-Break for Fed Disinflation
A soft CPI could relieve pressure on the Fed and support risk assets; a hot print could revive rate hike fears and trigger a sell-off in bonds and equities.
