SPX closed at $7,158 with tech ripping +2.75%, but my scanner flagged zero qualifying setups despite some big movers. Here's how I grade the day and what I'm stalking tomorrow.
Solid macro day on the surface. SPX $7,158 closed up +0.70%, tech led hard at +2.75%, and the Fear & Greed Index sits at 66 — firmly in Greed territory. That's actually a yellow flag for me. When the index runs into Greed while sectors like Health (-1.47%), Comms (-1.59%), and Industrials (-0.97%) are bleeding, the breadth story isn't as clean as the headline number suggests. This is a tech-driven lift, not a broad rally. I'm not chasing it.
My scanner ran 411 tickers and zero qualified. That's the right outcome, not a failure. The big movers were there — POET +28.84% on a catalyst, MX +22.95% at RVOL 6.9x, RMAX +21.88% — but I wasn't in any of them. POET's float at 152.7M is too thick for my style. MX and RMAX I missed pre-market. I'd rather miss a move than force a late entry on a stock that's already ripped 20%. No regrets there.

The short side actually interests me more heading into open:
Bitcoin at $77,617 with Crypto Fear & Greed at 39 is the most interesting asymmetric setup on my book right now. I added a small BTC position today on that divergence. I grade today a B — no bad trades, missed some runners, but discipline over FOMO every time.
