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

8 of 12 measured session-normalized paths align to the downside across 7.1 effective names. Common-bar coverage spans 12 of 21 cohort members. RPD, AVPT, CRWD are also moving with filing-linked members. Capital-flow agreement is 7%, so the basket is not yet clean. No verified headline preceded the measured move.
