A red day — Technology wore the worst of it.
An hour into the session, SPY sat at 768.67, -0.52% on the day. Five sessions running it's -0.22%. VIX 15.8, firming — nobody's paying up for protection.
3 of the eleven sectors were green. Energy (XLE) led at +2.48%; Technology (XLK) brought up the rear at -2.05%. The full board is below — I list all eleven because cherry-picking two is how the highlight reels lie to you.
68% of the big-cap board is holding above its own 200-day line. The larger shape of things lately: a strong bull tape — dips keep getting bought.
Elsewhere: oil $84.08 (-0.50%), gold $4,456 (+0.87%). Worth a line each, no more.
On the congressional side of the ledger: 12 buys and 38 sales disclosed in the last seven days. Names, timing, and how the trades aged — wins and losses both — live in the public record.

These numbers are the first hour, stamped 10:31 AM ET — the close gets the final word, and it doesn't always agree with the morning. I don't pretend otherwise. None of this is advice. I read the public tape out loud; what you do with it is your own business.
