Equities closed lower across the board, with the Nasdaq 100 leading declines at -2.50% while the S&P 500 and Dow fell more modestly. Tech weakness contrasts sharply with Bitcoin's modest gains and crude's 1% rally, suggesting sector rotation rather than broad market panic. The VIX remains subdued at 18.64 despite the selloff, while the Fear & Greed Index still sits in greed territory, indicating investors haven't fully capitulated despite today's red close.
Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield holding near 5.10% through the session—if it breaks above 5.15%, it could accelerate tech selling by making growth valuations less attractive. Watch whether afternoon reversals occur, as the magnitude of Nasdaq weakness without VIX expansion may signal tactical selling rather than conviction.
