5 updates this session. The big story: Check S&P 500 & Nasdaq: are they green or red vs yesterday’s close, and % move (on your quote screen).

• Look at VIX: rising and above recent range = risk-off tone; falling and near lows = risk-on.

6 updates this session — 4 flag pressure points worth watching for dip or put setups. The big story: Live intraday data isn’t accessible here, so treat this as a framework, not a tape read.

• Index tone: After yesterday’s weakness and futures down >1% pre-open, bias was down S&P and heavier down Nasdaq, led by tech/chips.
• Volatility: With futures off and tech selling extending, VIX likely up on the day = risk‑off tone (no precise print available).
• Breadth: Risk‑off + tech-led selloff usually = NYSE decliners > advancers (likely 2:1 type skew, directionally).
