🎯 The Core Read
This is not yet a crisis regime. Credit spreads are calm, VIX is in the 25th percentile, and options dealers are still cushioning the index.
The problem is that the cushion is thinner while the macro weight is heavier: crude near $95, no-cut pricing at 69%, Fed hike odds at 40%, and BTC…
⚜️ Reality Gap
SIGNAL: Prediction markets reject the soft-policy narrative.
FACT: Zero 2026 cuts are priced at 69% on $31.8M volume, July no-change at 92%, and a 2026 hike at 40%.
