Leadership shifted, but the broad read stayed uneven

The latest Strat.ai market data snapshot keeps the broad regime in MIXED territory, with leadership doing more work than the headline tape. Dow exposure and the S&P 500 Index looked firmer than small caps and Nasdaq exposure, while sector breadth favored communications, technology, and consumer discretionary over semiconductor-linked names. Volatility did not confirm stress: QQQ remained CHEAP and SPY stayed NEUTRAL. The calendar now carries the next burden, with CPI, PPI, claims, retail sales, sentiment, and high-importance earnings due across the week.
