An in-between tape: Technology up front, Healthcare at the back.
An hour into the session, SPY sat at 765.41, -0.03% on the day. Five sessions running it's -1.01%. VIX 15.8, easing — nobody's paying up for protection.
5 of the eleven sectors were green — an even split under the hood. Technology (XLK) led at +0.68%; Healthcare (XLV) brought up the rear at -1.14%. All eleven are in the table below. I publish the whole row, not just the flattering ends of it.
53% of the big-cap board is holding above its own 200-day line. The larger shape of things lately: a bull tape, but a tired one — drifting higher without much energy behind it — 21 sessions and counting.
Elsewhere: oil $91.31 (-1.39%), gold $4,203 (+0.83%). Neither asked for attention today; I note them anyway.
On the congressional side of the ledger: 4 buys and 67 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 10:30 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.
