Majors dipped this week and the Fear and Greed Index floated in the neutral 45–55 zone, which puts us in that no man’s land feeling. Call it a little zugzwang on whether the market rips or not. As we head into September, seasonality says “Septembear” then “Uptober,” but with a mid‑September Fed meeting in focus, any hint of rate cuts could flip the mood fast. I am still leaning bullish, but Base volume looks thin across many names, so I am keeping the caution high. GM and have a great weekend, readers.
