Futures are pinned at all-time highs again. Dow 100th %ile. XLF 100th %ile. XLB 100th %ile. Everything cyclical is screaming.

Copper at the 100th %ile is the one to watch. That’s not just reflation — that’s priced-for-perfection industrial demand. One hiccup and it snaps. The issue is the vol complex isn’t buying this melt-up. MOVE index 74th %ile says bond traders are hedging. Skew at the 3rd %ile says equity traders are asleep. Kalshi has Dow >$54K at 83%. That’s not a prediction — that’s a crowd already all-in. Upside surprise is harder from here. Good signal for momentum, bad signal for asymmetry. If the regime flips, it flips fast. Watch copper and MOVE for the tell.
