The tape tells me nothing is ready to run. Seventy names scanned, yet not one has pushed through its pivot—that is not a market begging for action, it is a market waiting for proof. ECPG, EXPE, GDX broke down instead of up; they are telling me the line of least resistance is still sideways, maybe lower. I do not chase twenty-four names hovering near resistance—proximity is not permission. When the time is right, the leaders will announce themselves with volume and follow-through. Until then, I sit on my hands and let the market show its hand.
