Cross-Asset Read

A selective, crypto-led rebound framed Monday, with gains concentrated in crypto and China while duration and parts of prior equity leadership gave ground.
The 3M leadership stack sits in VLUE, EWT, IYW, SMH, MTUM, and IBB, while the weak end holds COPX, MCHI, GDX, ETHA, GLD, and TLT; Monday broke from that standing trend in ETHA and IBIT, which rose against 3M downtrends, and in EWT and IBB, which fell against 3M uptrends, while TLT extended its 3M decline.
Volatility stays compressed in EFA, EFAV, EWG, AGG, BNDX, EMB, and DBMF, so the cross-asset field is selective rather than broad, with the rebound concentrated in counter-trend crypto and China pockets.
