What moved and why

Written by sonar-pro

The VIX rose as investors reduced exposure to AI and technology shares amid concerns about the profitability and financing of data-centre investment, while Nasdaq and Russell 2000 declines reflected the wider equity sell-off. Brent crude rose on fears that escalating Middle East tensions, attacks near the Strait of Hormuz and strikes on Russian refineries could disrupt supplies. Natural gas has no clear reported explanation in the available reports, while the Nikkei 225’s rise has no clear reported explanation either.

Mixed

Normal volatility

Agreement 42%3 lean risk-on, 1 leans risk-off, 1 neutral.

Describes how markets are currently behaving. It is not a view on what happens next, and not a recommendation to do anything.

▲Index participationleans risk-on
6 of 10 tracked indices higher
Counts the major indices the site follows, not their constituents. It shows whether the move is broad across regions, not how many companies took part.
■Equity trendneutral
-0.2% median across indices over 20 sessions
Median change of the tracked indices over the last twenty trading days.
▲Expected volatilityleans risk-on
VIX at 19.99, 37% of the way up its 12-month range
The options market's expectation of S&P 500 movement over the next thirty days. It describes expected size of moves, not their direction.
▲Defensive demandleans risk-on
Gold -5.5% against -0.2% for equities over 20 sessions
Gold outperforming equities is conventionally read as defensive positioning. It is a relationship that usually holds, not a rule that must.
▼Crypto breadthleans risk-off
10 of 119 liquid pairs higher over 24 hours
Measured across every USDT pair clearing the turnover floor, so it is true breadth rather than a sample. Crypto trades continuously, so this covers a rolling day rather than a session.

Shown without a direction

■Yield curveneutral
10-year yields 0.35 points above 2-year
An inverted curve has preceded past recessions, but with long and inconsistent lags. It is shown as context because its bearing on today's risk appetite is not clear enough to score.
■Government yieldsneutral
US 10-year at 5.09%, up 15bp over 20 sessions
Rising yields can reflect stronger growth or tighter policy, which pull risk appetite in opposite directions. Shown without a direction for that reason.
■Volatility of volatilityneutral
VIX's own 20-day variability is below typical (35th percentile)
How settled the fear gauge itself has been, ranked against the last twelve months.

What this cannot see

·Breadth is measured across the indices tracked here, not their constituent companies, which are separately licensed.
·There is no corporate credit input, so a deterioration visible first in credit markets would not appear.
·Agreement compares the net of these measures with their combined size. It describes how consistently they point the same way, and is not a probability that the reading is correct.

Every USDT spot pair on Binance turning over more than $2m in 24 hours. The volume floor exists because a large percentage move on a thin book usually reflects a handful of trades rather than genuine demand. The bar shows where price sits within the 24-hour range: near 100 means the move is holding, near 0 means it has been given back. Tokens marked meme have no cash flow or stated utility behind them.

Quadrants name the shape of the two readings: Strong, Weakening, Recovering, Declining. They describe what price has done over the two windows and carry no view on what happens next. Values beyond 36% are drawn at the edge. 12 markets are plotted without a ticker, having landed too close to a neighbour to letter both. Each is named on hover, and every market drawn here also appears by name in the tables on this page.

Cross-asset relationships

60-session correlation

No pair did anything uncommon in its most recent shared session. 3 have drifted from the level held over the year, and are shown first. Correlation runs from −1, moving exactly opposite, through 0, no relationship, to +1, moving exactly together. The mark on each scale is where the pair sat across the whole year.

GoldagainstBitcoin+0.49
moderate positive relationship over 60 shared sessions, against a 0.23 baseline for the year. The two are moving together more than usual, at the 81st percentile of the year's windows.
Both are argued to be stores of value outside the banking system. If that argument described how they trade, they would move together.
Crude oil BrentagainstS&P 500-0.58
moderate inverse relationship over 60 shared sessions, against a -0.36 baseline for the year. The two are moving together less than usual, at the 10th percentile of the year's windows.
Oil rising with equities suggests demand; oil rising against them suggests supply. The sign of this relationship is more informative than its size.
BitcoinagainstNasdaq Composite+0.35
weak positive relationship over 60 shared sessions, against a 0.47 baseline for the year. The two are moving together less than usual, at the 13th percentile of the year's windows.
Whether cryptoassets are trading as a high-beta risk asset or on something of their own. The relationship has switched on and off repeatedly.
S&P 500againstVIX volatility-0.73
strong inverse relationship over 60 shared sessions, against a -0.83 baseline for the year. The recent window sits about where this pair normally sits.
VIX is calculated from the prices of options on the S&P 500, so the two are linked by construction rather than by habit. Days when both rise are the ones worth looking at.
GoldagainstS&P 500+0.36
weak positive relationship over 60 shared sessions, against a 0.30 baseline for the year. The recent window sits about where this pair normally sits.
Gold is conventionally held as a hedge against falling equities. The measured relationship is a check on how far that convention currently holds.
S&P 500againstDAX+0.49
moderate positive relationship over 60 shared sessions, against a 0.55 baseline for the year. The recent window sits about where this pair normally sits.
Two developed equity markets on different continents. How closely they track measures whether the day's driver was global or local.

What this cannot show▸

Correlation measures whether two markets moved together, not whether one caused the other. Both responding to the same third thing produces an identical reading.
Only sessions both markets traded are compared. A cryptoasset against an equity index therefore drops weekends and holidays, roughly a third of the year.
The pairs are a fixed list chosen because a relationship is expected. Searching every combination for the striking ones would find them in data with no relationships at all.
