FEAR JUST HIT 9, AND SHORTS HIT A 15-YEAR HIGH: $SPYon

Sentiment is at an extreme as Fear & Greed fell to 9, Russell 3000 short interest hit a 15-year high, and SPY put volume jumped to tariff-shock territory. $XLE short interest is also at a 2008-style extreme, showing institutions are paying up for protection across the tape. This is the kind of positioning that can trigger a violent snapback.

I think this matters now because the market is leaning heavily in one direction, and crowded hedges are exactly where fast reversals get born. When shorts, puts, and ETF defense all spike together, price usually hunts the weak side first.

Not financial advice. Manage your risk.
