Bitcoin (BTC) | CALL: NEUTRAL/BEARISH
- [Horizon: 1-2w | Signal Grade: B]

- Triggers Break above $76.3k (Bullish) or close below $73.3k (Bearish).
- Invalidation Sustained daily close above $76.5k.
S&P 500 | CALL: BULLISH
- [Horizon: 1-5d | Signal Grade: B]

- Triggers Continued holding of 50-DMA support.
- Invalidation Daily close below the recent breakout level of 6,950.

Energy/Commodities | CALL: VOLATILITY UP
- [Horizon: 4-12w | Signal Grade: A]
- Why it matters: Geopolitical instability in the Middle East and potential supply chain disruptions (Strait of Hormuz) create structural upside for energy and fertilizer costs.

US Treasurys | CALL: BEARISH
- [Horizon: 3-6m | Signal Grade: B]

Ethereum (ETH) | CALL: NEUTRAL
- [Horizon: 1-3m | Signal Grade: B]
