Markets Update: As I said on April 8th, at some point markets stop reacting to headlines of war. This is playing out. Go back and read the 3-part series in which I gave you all a historical perspective. Yesterday — globally — let that sink in, globally — stocks hit all-time highs, and oil drifted lower despite the strait being closed and Trump threats. Global Markets 🟥 Asia (mixed) 🟥 ASX 200 -0.04% 🟩 Nikkei +0.89% 🟩 Nifty +0.82% 🟩 Hang Seng +0.48% 🟩 Shanghai +0.07% 🟩 Europe (risk holding up) 🟩 STOXX600 +0.21% 🟩 DAX +0.63% 🟩 FTSE +0.14% 🟩 CAC +0.18% 🟩 FTSE MIB +0.31% 🟩 U.S. Futures (grinding higher) 🟩 Dow Futures +0.20% 🟩 S&P Futures +0.19% 🟩 Nasdaq Futures +0.29% Macro Dashboard 🟩 Oil $88.04 (-1.75%) → continuing lower 🟨 Yields mixed / stabilizing 2Y: 3.739 (+0.32%) 10Y: 4.256 (-0.05%) 20Y: 4.849 (-0.16%) 30Y: 4.878 (-0.18%) 🟨 DXY 98.26 (+0.22%) → flat to slightly higher 🟥 Gold -0.72% 🟩 VIX 19.03 (+0.90%) → elevated but contained Crypto Market 🟩 BTC ~76.3K (+0.65%) 🟥 USDT.D 7.39 (-0.26%) → drifting lower 🟩 TOTAL3 +0.69% 🟩 TOTAL2 +0.61% 🟩 OTHERS +1.03% 🟥 IBIT -1.57% AlphaVille Liquidity Algorithm (Updated Friday-Full Read) Liquidity is not the problem right now. Nothing in the system is breaking. No funding stress. No dealer stress. No dollar squeeze. That means one thing: When price moves, it can continue. The only thing slowing this market is confidence, not liquidity. Words of Marvin Gaye "What’s Going On. Tell Me What's Goin' On" The market is stopping caring about the war headlines. You can see it clearly: Oil is drifting lower → not pricing escalation Yields are stable → no stress response Dollar isn’t ripping → no global panic VIX under 20 → hedging, not fear Bitcoin holding and grinding higher → risk staying in play That’s your signal. Not what people are saying — what money is doing. My Take Right now, this is a grind higher environment, not a breakout environment. So: You don’t chase vertical moves You lean into dips You stay positioned, not emotional Because the system is saying: “We’re okay… just not fully convinced yet.” The Only Thing That Matters Oil and yields. That’s it. If oil keeps drifting lower → pressure stays off → markets grind higher If yields stay contained → liquidity transmits → risk continues If either of those flip hard → everything tightens again. That’s the difference.
