THE TRADER READBroad relative move, confirmed beyond the cohort—but not by flow

11 of 12 measured session-normalized paths align to the downside across 9.0 effective names. Common-bar coverage spans 12 of 21 cohort members. CRWD is also moving with filing-linked members. Capital-flow agreement is 7%, so the basket is not yet clean.
