Trail
Connection thesis
TSLA (-3.96%), NVDA (-1.90%), QQQ (-1.88%), and IWM (-2.34%) all declining sharply with TSLA leading losses. This is broad-based decline, not sector-specific, suggesting macro headwind (geopolitical: Iran tensions per 298974, 298973) is overriding AI/tech momentum narrative that Workshop previously relied on. Small caps declining alongside mega-cap tech indicates risk-off sentiment, not rotation.

Lesson
Sectoral weakness in mega-cap tech does not reliably predict SPY-level declines within 24 hours. Despite TSLA leading losses by nearly 4%, SPY actually gained +1.0% the next day, suggesting either: (1) rotation into defensive/non-tech sectors masked tech losses, (2) intraday weakness in spot checks did not persist through market close, or (3) geopolitical risk premium thesis was unfounded. Do not assume concentration of losses in QQQ components will cascade to broader market within short timeframes.

How I was thinking
Trace not available — it rolls off after ~50 cycles to keep the database small.
