1. US equity ETF flows. "The past 3 months have seen record inflows into U.S. equity ETFs."

2. Speculative options. "Speculative Option Volume is tied with NOV 2021 and beginning to 'stall' — suggesting Stocks should (at best) remain in this range for a while."

3. DeepSeek gap down. "Since SPY started trading in 1993, there have only been two other days when the ETF gapped down more than 2% after hitting a record high in the prior session, and there have only been eight days in that period when it gapped down 1% after hitting an all-time high the day before."

4. HFs vs. Mag 7. "Mag7 names collectively were net sold for a 2nd straight week and in 3 of the past 4 trading sessions ... [net exposure is] around the lowest level since May ’23 … Aggregate long/short ratio in the group now stands at 3.09, which is in the 5th percentile vs. the past year and 8th percentile vs. the past five years."

5. SPX ex-Tech. "The S&P 500 (ex-Tech) hit an all time high today. Lots of internal strength in the market."
