Opening read
A softer tape: SPY is down 0.4% and QQQ down 0.6% at 8:15 AM ET, with the 10-year yield at 5.28%.
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. Into the open, watch the 30-year bond auction at 1:00 PM ET.
Overnight / pre-market tape
At 8:15 AM ET, SPY is down 0.4% and QQQ is down 0.6% versus the prior close. The 10-year Treasury yield rose 1 bp to 5.28% on Wednesday, the VIX closed Wednesday at 15.08, and Bitcoin trades at $82,340 (−1.4% over 24 hours).

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 3 weekdays behind and should be read as background only.
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.

BTC trend
Blockhaven's Macro read names BTC trend as the main opportunity; it was computed before the latest session.
Market context
Each figure carries its own date and time, and they were not observed simultaneously. Treasury yields are prior-day closes and Bitcoin is a rolling 24-hour reading.
