The Risk Layer Just Turned On. Composite Jumps to +3/9 Mid-Session.

Bitcoin confirmed sometime after this morning's open, flipping the framework from Distribution to Inflationary Pump inside the same scan window — Composite up from -1/9 to +3/9 as the risk layer switched on. NTLA's fire-tier long (Conf 7, 3F) is live inside an 83%-strength convergence zone; CF Industries just triggered a Tier-2 short at its own VWAP. The Dow carries the single highest Conf reading of the day — 9 across four timeframes — but it's too extended above VWAP to touch right now.

The risk layer confirmed on mid-session, and the regime flipped with it. Individual names scanned earlier this morning (CF, NTLA, PACB, RXRX, VST) read Distribution, Composite -1/9, risk layer off. Everything scanned after Bitcoin confirmed — the indices, copper, Solana — reads Inflationary Pump, Composite +3/9, risk layer on. Bonds remain the one layer still off. Breadth backs the flip: Summation Index +13,224, 62.2% of names above their 50-day, McClellan still negative at -29.7 but tagged Breadth Recovery — improving against price, not confirming it yet. Bias: standard-size longs on confirmation; short setups on names that haven't caught the flip stay valid.

If you watch one: NTLA — fire-tier Conf 7 confirmed across three timeframes, the best win rate on the board, already inside its convergence zone.
