Daily Synthesis

Today's session told a story of fragmented conviction: defensive healthcare dominated while growth-oriented tech and energy-adjacent sectors faced selling pressure, and crypto assets showed pockets of speculative activity even as institutional outflows continued to accumulate. The divergence between sector leadership and ETF flow caution is a tension worth carrying into tomorrow. Watch whether healthcare holds its gains or gives back ground as the session gap gets tested.
