Blockhaven's Transition Macro read (Risk Appetite near neutral and easing, Liquidity below neutral, computed Saturday, before Monday's session) is context rather than a test this morning. Also scheduled: the 3-year note auction at 1:00 PM ET and Constellation Brands' listed report after the close. Into the open, watch August trade data at 8:30 AM ET.

Blockhaven Macro
Regime read: Transition
Blockhaven's read, computed Saturday, Oct 3, 8:20 PM ET, is Transition. Risk Appetite 45 (inside its neutral band, down 11 over 5 snapshots); Liquidity 36 (below its neutral band, down 1 over 5 snapshots); Crypto 68 (above its neutral band, down 14 over 5 snapshots). Its Market Stress and Vol Event Risk engines are elevated. It is one daily snapshot behind and does not reflect Monday's session.
Neither score gives a clear directional signal, so the individual readings matter more than the label. The regime read, Risk Appetite, Crypto and the three engines (Market Stress, Upside Expansion and Vol Event Risk) are only partly verified against public data, so treat them as provisional.
