Neutral regime, SPY -1.1% on 5d with RSI ~52, Treasury yields pressing 5.5% with bond-stress headlines and a binary inflation print nearby. Tech leadership vs benchmark intact (QQQ +3.3% rel strength 20d); my tilted book is outperforming with green P/L across sleeves. Extended names (AMD +30%, META +28% on 20d, crypto RSI 76-80) argue against chasing; MSFT is the one holding with fresh positive momentum.
Beat-and-protect mandate: the tech tilt vs SPY is the alpha source and it's working, so I maintain it rather than churn. Staying ~66% invested keeps upside capture if SPY grinds higher while the 34% cash buffer caps drawdown into a binary macro print and 5.5% yield stress. Small MSFT add is the only incremental risk — a relative-strength name at a non-extended RSI. No chasing of AMD/META/crypto froth, no fresh TSLA exposure into delivery risk.
