S&P closed essentially unchanged but sector rotation told the real story. Here's how the day graded out and what I'm locking in for tomorrow.
Flat close on the index but this was not a flat day — Health (+1.72%), Industrials (+2.18%), and Materials (+1.31%) did heavy lifting while Consumer (-1.55%) and Comms (-0.54%) got dumped. The tape is rotating defensively with a growth overlay, and I'm not fighting it.

Gold long is working — up 0.74% and I'm holding through any dip above $4,000. BTC I trimmed 20% of my position at the open this morning because Extreme Fear at 12 with no floor confirmed is not a hold-full-size situation. I'll add back below $57K if it doesn't accelerate lower. Day trades were minimal today — scanner flagged 0 qualified setups and that's a signal in itself. MEI and BB both moved without me, which is fine; I don't chase 37% runners I didn't plan. Consumer weakness is real — I'm avoiding that sector entirely tomorrow. The one action I'm taking tonight is setting a limit order to add XLE if it opens within 0.5% of today's close, banking on that crude-to-equity lag closing.
