Posture
Fragmented Contraction
1 session
Contractionary lean but instruments disagreeing. Surface alignment masks internal divergence.
The compass maps the structural posture of the derivatives market. The horizontal axis shows expansion vs contraction. The vertical axis shows coherence vs stress.
The dot marks today's position. The trail shows the past 7 sessions. The posture label describes what the structure is — not where it's going.
Depth panels below show the underlying measurements: positioning breadth, basis stress, range compression, and structural activity.
