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

7 of 11 measured SPY-adjusted paths align to the downside across 7.4 effective names. Common-bar coverage spans 11 of 17 cohort members. FANG, SM, REPX are also moving with filing-linked members. Capital-flow agreement is 10%, so the basket is not yet clean. No verified headline preceded the measured move.
