  • Earnings from big tech and other sectors may shift sentiment.
  • Global headlines can flip risk tone quickly.

    • Risk lens

  • A move below key moving averages could tilt the trend.
  • VIX rising toward the teens or higher signals more fear or uncertainty.
  • Yields rising (TNX up) can pressure higher-valued stocks.
  • Weakness in URA or CCJ adds risk for materials and commodity names.
  • Watch volume; thinner sessions can swing moves more than usual.
