What changed
MOVE at 84th %ile and KXFED 45% for above 4.50% after Jan 27, 2027: bond vol is not calm, cuts are not a lock.
Copper Dec 26 ($COPPER) 94th %ile is the real-economy tell. Euro FX Dec-2026 ($EURO_FX) 8th %ile says dollar squeeze still has fuel.
$RUSSELL_FUT and Russell 2000 ETF at 0th %ile is the extreme. Small caps are either broken or the cheapest beta on the board. Not sure people appreciate how washed this is.
KXINX 47.5% for 7800 to 7824.9999 today and S&P dispersion 71st: index is pinned while single stocks are not. KXGOLDMON 54.5% above 4152.99 by Oct 30 says the gold tail is live. Broad vol complacency plus tail hedges equals fragile.
