The shared macro environment behind every trade

Business cycle: US in Late phase (composite 60/100). Late-cycle: expansion intact but aging — leadership narrows and quality outperforms.

Yield curve: Curve normal · bull steepener. A positively-sloped curve is the expansion default.

Credit spreads: HY at 275bps (15th pct of this feed's history), 20d velocity calm. Credit calm — no stress signal from the bond market.

Global liquidity: Max headwind. Liquidity is contracting -5% YoY and the impulse is still worsening — the toughest configuration for risk assets, particularly the liquidity-sensitive ones (crypto, unprofitable growth).

Financial conditions: Neutral (-0.02σ, loosening). Neither fuel nor brake.

Volatility regime: Nervous (VIX 15.13, 35th 10y pct) · dealers short $21.47bn gamma/1%. Nervous, two-way tape.

Market breadth: Mixed: 59% above 50-day, 9 new highs vs 0 lows. Participation is mixed or narrowing.
