S&P 500 (SPY) vs Equal Weight (RSP) ratio. The market breadth indicator. SPY outperforming RSP sharply = narrow leadership = hidden weakness beneath the index.

Semiconductors (SMH) vs S&P 500 (SPY) ratio. The AI capex cycle proxy. Rising = AI buildout accelerating. Watch NVDA/SMH divergence for bubble warning.
Credit Vix Divergence
HYG (High Yield) vs VIX divergence. When VIX is low but HYG starts falling: credit market detects stress before equity vol. Classic pre-selloff signal.
