DXY up nearly 1% crushed commodities and killed risk appetite. One scanner hit actually delivered — BIRD +39% on a 173x RVOL print with an 8.8M float.
Ugly session across the board. The DXY ripping to 100.50 was the story — when dollar strength is that aggressive in a single day, gold, silver, crypto, and consumer names all get hit simultaneously, and that's exactly what happened. I grade today a C-minus. The macro read was right, the position sizing wasn't tight enough.

Gold position is underwater on the day but I'm not cutting it. My cost basis gives me room and $4,200 is my stop — not today's low. Silver's 4% drop stings more; I'm trimmed to half size there. BTC I didn't touch — Crypto Fear & Greed at 22 historically means we're close to a flush, and I'd rather miss the bottom by 3% than sell into panic. Index funds I ignore on down days like this. Tomorrow I'm watching the open in BIRD — if it gaps up cleanly with pre-market volume above 500K shares, I'm in for a scalp with a stop at $5.10. Cash is elevated and I want it that way until SPX shows me $7,350 holds.
