Here's $SNDK YTD 2026. It's at 1.0/10.0, on the Demand floor. Jan-May it spent most of its time on the ceiling, at 10.0. In July, going to 1.0 preceded a prolonged decline. It's there now. Could mean there's a big second AI down leg. Falling Supply means it's out of ETFs.
You think there's a chance a #risk management system managing $25T of assets might foster lockstep behavior? Like moving to #healthcare? modernir.com/the-genie/
For the market to hit real turbulence, it must decline all its daily volatility, and about a third more. In $SPX components in aggregate, that's about 3%. More in the Nasdaq. Depending on how the day ends, this isn't it yet.
#inflation data from @MinneapolisFed 1800-1900: -55%. Everything became less expensive. Proof that as Kevin Warsh says, inflation is a CHOICE. Inflation 1913-2026: +3.3% annually, total 371%. Cause: @federalreserve. Too much month at the end of the money. @GunjanJS
Whether #inflation data or #options resets for October are reasons for the market's gurgling today, the market behaves like an arbitrage because #stocks are principally collateral for #ETFs. And next, #tokens. modernir.com/taking-a-toll/
$NVDA is almost never a short trade. This is the biggest spike in Short Volume perhaps ever, and certainly of the year. It's not NECESSARILY bearish. But it could be.

30D Demand/Supply for #software vs #semiconductors. Software is stronger but declining, and has higher Supply (over 53% short volume). Semi Demand stalled below 5.0 and Supply (45.7%) shows an upturn. It's not bad -- but they COULD move the same direction.
The simplest explanation for market weakness is Demand has dropped below 5.0 for the first time since May. That's also the second-longest stretch since 2017 for Demand at 5.0 or better. In May, Supply fell, stocks rose -- and then plunged in early June.
Investors, it's important to know how LULD works. Don't be lulled! modernir.com/smooth-operator…

Tim Quast noted that institutions have been quietly de-risking their equity exposure — a shift you can't actually see happening, he said, comparing it to turning an aircraft carrier: invisible until it's suddenly too late.
He walks us through the data from his model, showing how equity flows have been declining since June 1, and where that money is actually rotating to instead.
