### Today's Top Signals

### Which dimensions are driving the tape?

Technical_momentum and options_flow account for the bulk of the score movement in the top tier today. Where supply_chain or social_sentiment is also flagged, the directional pressure tends to persist into the following session.

### Risk Factors

- A sharp VIX expansion can flip the dimension mix toward defensive scoring.
- Single-stock catalysts (earnings, guidance, FDA, geopolitical) override the dimension engine on the day-of.

### What Would Change This View

- If the average score across the top 5 listed names falls more than 8 points within five sessions, the directional pressure thesis is invalidated.
- If VIX closes above 25 for two consecutive sessions while SPY breaks the 20-week MA, defer the constructive outlook.
- If 10Y yield clears 4.75% with DXY above 105, expect the rate-sensitivity dimension to override the current tape.

### Outlook

The directional pressure layer is best confirmed by a second consecutive session in the same direction. Watch the next score release for whether today's top names compound.
