S&P 1d base rate is a mild up bias (~53%). Today is a broad risk-off session: a global tech selloff has spread to Asia (KOSPI -9.99%, circuit breaker), US futures are sliding, Alphabet -5% on AI-talent concerns, and Fed rate-hike expectations are firming (Sept hike now penciled in). That negative momentum plus hawkish-Fed headwind updates me past the weak up prior to a low-confidence down call; broader S&P is more resilient than tech, so confidence is modest.
