Weekly Strategy Note Β· Issue 001

The market is resilient.
The margin for error is not.

Momentum remains constructive, but narrowing participation and elevated volatility premiums call for disciplined position sizing.

Macro Lens

Market Regime

Global liquidity remains supportive while leadership has become increasingly concentrated. Our composite regime model remains positive, though two internal measures deteriorated this week.

Credit spreads are contained and the primary equity trend remains intact. The counterweight is weakening participation beneath the index level. We are maintaining long exposure while reducing tolerance for positions that fail to confirm quickly.
