Equity markets finished lower today as the Dow Jones declined 1.13%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 posted more modest losses. Bitcoin surged 2.51% to test $80,900, outpacing traditional risk assets and signaling divergent sentiment within risk-on trades. The VIX held steady near 18 and the Fear & Greed Index remained neutral at 50, suggesting measured caution rather than panic selling despite the broad equity weakness.
Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield at 4.45% as it approaches resistance; a break higher could accelerate equity selling, while stability would suggest the selloff is profit-taking rather than a reversal in risk appetite.
