Why it matters

$CVS is in play, but the current flow backdrop still needs a cleaner match.

What changed

CVS leadership persisted

What to watch

BTI is the clearest next confirmer and should tell us whether the move can broaden.

What breaks it

Cross-asset confirmation is still fragile, so spillover can stall before it becomes durable.
