SPX is leaking into the close with industrials and utilities getting hit hardest. Energy is the lone bright spot and crude at $85.45 is doing the heavy lifting.
Morning started soft and never found its footing. SPX is down -0.43% with breadth ugly — eight of eleven sectors are red and industrials are the worst of it at -1.11%. The tape character shifted from 'wait and see' at the open to 'quiet distribution' by midday, and that's not something I'm fading into power hour.

BTC at $78,604 with Crypto Fear & Greed at 62 (Greed) — I'm not adding here, but I'm not trimming either. My BTC position is long-term and I'm comfortable holding through noise. Gold pulling back -1.11% doesn't change my bullion thesis — I'll look to add physical on a move toward $4,380.
For power hour, I'm watching MCI for a long trigger above $19.40 at half size, and I'll short PCG on any bounce into $17.00 with a stop at $17.30. If SPX can't reclaim $7,700 in the last hour, I'm sitting on my hands and letting the close speak.
