Market Status

Regime: RISK-OFF | Score: 72/100 (Favorable, with caution) | Score reads 72 (Favorable) but regime is RISK-OFF β€” negative GEX (-4.7B) and DIX below threshold (0.438) keeps full risk-on classification at bay. Signal-price divergence detected: 6 signals disagree with SPY's 5d trend.

Leading indicators show DIX rising to 0.438 (institutional accumulation increasing); live dealer gamma negative at -10.8B (vol-amplifying); credit spreads widening (stress building). Lagging confirmation: VIX at 18.4 (low-fear environment); seasonal pattern historically neutral.
