Crude up nearly 8% is the only story that matters today. The tape is risk-off everywhere else — Materials, Consumer, and Financials are getting hit hardest.
Morning session confirmed what I feared heading in: this is a rotation out of risk, not a dip to buy. Crude spiking +7.88% to $75.99 is screaming macro stress — that's not a clean energy rally, that's a geopolitical or supply shock bid, and the rest of the market is repricing around it.

I went into today long gold and it's working against me. I'm not panicking — my cost basis has room — but I'm not adding into a -2.71% intraday move when the dollar is strengthening and 10Y yields are pushing 4.593%. My stop on gold is $3,980; we're not there yet.
Day-trade sizing is at 50% normal. Scanner put up zero qualified setups out of 381 tickers — that's the tape telling me something. I'm watching WTI for a power hour entry above $3.55 if crude doesn't roll over. Everything else, I'm sitting on my hands until SPX shows me $7,400 holds or breaks clean.
