SIGNAL SCAN — March 6, 2026

SNAPSHOT
Stagflationary regime emerging as oil supply shocks (+4.0%) collide with sustained crypto inflows ($125M BTC ETF streak). Risk-on in equities (QQQ +1.2%) despite VIX spike (+4.0%) signals cross-asset dislocation. Iran conflict creating energy displacement while late-cycle liquidity chases digital assets.

MACRO RISK DASHBOARD
Risk Gauge: 43.2/100 (Elevated)
Regime: Transitional Stagflation — oil shock driving inflation while growth signals mixed
SPY: +0.14% | QQQ: +1.22% | VIX: +3.96% | TLT: -0.72% | DXY: -0.07% | OIL: +3.97%
ICSA: 213K (down, labor market tightening)

FORWARD SCENARIOS

SCENARIO A — Iran Escalation
OIL: $88-95 (+5-13%)
BTC: $67-72K (-5 to +2%)
SPY: $650-670 (-5 to -2%)

SCENARIO B — Crypto Momentum Extension
BTC: $74-80K (+5-13%)
ETH: $2200-2400 (+7-16%)
QQQ: $640-660 (+5-8%)

SCENARIO COIL: $78-82 (-7 to -3%)
TLT: $92-95 (+4-7%)
DXY: $101-103 (+2-4%)

BIG MOVES + DRIVERS
OIL $84.23 (+4.0%) — Iran diesel/gasoline export suspension creates supply shock
VIX $24.69 (+4.0%) — Geopolitical premium + cross-asset volatility spike
QQQ $608.91 (+1.2%) — Tech energy pledge (Amazon, Google, Meta, MSFT) for AI grid investment
TLT $88.79 (-0.7%) — Real yields rising on stagflation positioning

Energy displacement driving macro regime shift while crypto absorbs late-cycle institutional flows despite rising volatility.

POSITIONING
BTC ETF flows: +$125M (8-day inflow streak) — institutional FOMO matching gold's 15-year flows
Whale activity: Heavy BTC shorts $75.4M vs $9.4M longs, ETH shorts $48.1M — contrarian setup
Gold shorts $19.5M despite oil shock suggests inflation hedge rotation incomplete

IMPLICATION
Tactical long energy/short duration trade emerges on supply shock fundamentals. Crypto momentum vulnerable to regulatory pushback but ETF flows provide institutional floor around $67K BTC.
