ETFs Are The Market
Market-environment intelligence from the ETF tape — macro · sector · thematic
mixed / transitional — feeds not aligned (complacent-calm tape, net risk vote +1).
VIX 14.9 in contango; cross-asset risk vote +1 (mixed). Breadth appears neutral — IWM/SPY at the 57th percentile, 64% of S&P 500 members above their 200-day, HY OAS at the 2th percentile. Leadership rotating from decelerating SMH toward MSOS, XBI, IGV.
Where the Feeds Agree
State of the Tape
methodology & data vintage
methodology · masks · caveats
- T-1 staleness: issuer NAV/shares strike after the close — freshest value is prior close.
- In-kind creations/redemptions are primary-market activity, not screen pressure.
- Delta-SO flow is a lower bound on positioning change (internalized AP activity nets out).
- Days with |delta-SO| > 25% are masked as suspect (split/restatement guard); a genuine giant flow day is also masked — inspect errors[] for masked rows.
- Direxion flows use close price as NAV proxy (issuer publishes no NAV in the holdings CSV).
- No percentile/z-score claims: cross-fund flow history is too short for most funds (later task).

Read as: A within-complex severity indicator relative to the proxy ETF's own liquidity, and a DIRECTIONAL cross-sector ordering — not a calibrated forced-move or market-impact prediction.
methodology & literature caveat
What you actually own
show all 18
Look-through = the % of the fund (by weight) sitting in the AI-capex complex, counted from the top-10 disclosed holdings only — a floor (near-complete for the mega-caps, since they ARE the top holdings; positions below the top-10 are not counted). Descriptive: a fund’s own disclosed holdings, not advice.
Glossary — the shorthand this page leans on
- contango / backwardation
- the VIX term-structure shapes: near-term volatility priced below longer-dated (contango — the usual state) vs above it (backwardation — a stress marker).
- ADV
- average daily $-volume of a fund's shares — the liquidity yardstick §04's rebalance footprints are measured against.
- LETF
- leveraged ETF — delivers a daily multiple (2× / 3×, long or inverse) of its index and must rebalance toward the close every session.
- RS (relative strength)
- a fund's price divided by SPY's, indexed so 100 = the fund's own 1y average — above 100 means stronger than its own baseline, not beating SPY outright.
- diffusion
- the share of tracked equity names above a moving average — §02's participation gauge.
- golden / death cross
- the 50-day average crossing above (golden) or below (death) the 200-day — a slow-moving trend-change marker.
- percentile windows
- every “%ile” on this page ranks today against the stated lookback only (1y unless labelled otherwise), never against all history.
- signal strength
- a 0–1 engine score for how strongly a §00·5 convergence or tension holds: corroboration breadth (how many legs agree) for convergences, a rule-specific score for tensions (some rules scale with the reading, others assign a fixed weight) — not a probability or confidence interval.
