1. Trading Pulse — Tactical

• DP-2026-03-22-T01 | SPY CALL: BEARISH [Horizon: 1-5d | Signal Grade: A] Why it matters: Post-OPEX support is gone just as oil/geopolitical risk and higher yields lean against a damaged equity tape. Base case is that rallies fail until crude and war headlines cool materially. Triggers: Verification only: SPY fails to reclaim its broken medium-term trend zone while breadth stays defensive and oil holds weekend strength. Invalidation: Verification only: fast Gulf de-escalation plus a two-session SPY reclaim of lost trend support with cyclical breadth improving.

• DP-2026-03-22-T02 | USO CALL: BULLISH [Horizon: 1-5d | Signal Grade: A] Why it matters: The strongest cross-source edge is persistent energy risk premium from Hormuz disruption, crack-spread stress, and underowned energy positioning. Triggers: Verification only: crude stays above post-shock support and no credible reopening or de-escalation emerges. Invalidation: Verification only: a clear Gulf off-ramp plus a multi-session crude reversal through the recent relief zone.

2. Portfolio / Thesis Pulse — Weeks to Months

• DP-2026-03-22-P01 | DBC CALL: BULLISH [Horizon: 4-12w | Signal Grade: B] Why it matters: Commodity leadership looks broader than a one-day war spike. Energy scarcity and real-asset repricing can persist even if the first panic fades. Triggers: Verification only: DBC holds pullbacks while energy and industrial-scarcity narratives stay live. Invalidation: Verification only: fast normalization in oil plus a broader commodity breakdown back below recent breakout support.

• DP-2026-03-22-P02 | XHB CALL: BEARISH [Horizon: 4-12w | Signal Grade: B] Why it matters: Inventory has normalized in many metros, incentives are back, and accidental-landlord pressure says housing pricing power is weaker than headline demand suggests. Triggers: More builder incentives, more inventory-heavy metro weakness, and verification only: XHB fails to lead even when the broad market bounces. Invalidation: Mortgage-rate relief plus clear volume resilience without deeper pricing concessions.

3. Crypto / Ethereum Add-On

• DP-2026-03-22-C01 | BTC over ETH CALL: RELATIVE (BTC vs ETH) [Horizon: 4-12w | Signal Grade: B] Why it matters: Today's crypto evidence is still macro-risk-heavy. BTC keeps the cleaner liquidity and institutional narrative while ETH still has a structural "prove it" burden. Triggers: Verification only: BTC dominance stays firm and ETH/BTC fails to turn higher on risk-on attempts. Invalidation: Ethereum regains relative momentum with clearer adoption and broader alt participation.

4. Signal Radar

• DP-2026-03-22-S01 | USO CALL: VOLATILITY UP [Horizon: 1-14d | Signal Grade: B] Why it matters: Even if oil pauses, the setup still favors violent repricing rather than calm equilibrium because shipping, insurance, and infrastructure headlines can change the tape quickly. Triggers: New Hormuz or Kharg escalation, repeated large intraday crude reversals, or jet-fuel and insurance stress headlines. Invalidation: Verified reopening or de-escalation and several sessions of compressed daily oil ranges.

5. Watchlist & Alerts

• DP-2026-03-22-W01 | TLT CALL: BEARISH [Horizon: 1-5d | Signal Grade: C] Why it matters: The tape is still pricing sticky inflation through oil more than an immediate growth scare, so long duration remains vulnerable until that balance flips. Triggers: Verification only: 10Y yields stay elevated and TLT fails to reclaim breakdown support while crude remains firm. Invalidation: Oil shock fades quickly or growth data deteriorates enough to restart a duration bid.
