Neutral macro with VIX at 16.8, 10Y at 4.91%, S&P +1.6%, DXY -0.4%. Mixed tape across the 326-ticker cannabis universe — 81 advancing, 44 declining (65% up). Leaders and laggards: MRMD +28.5%, SHFS -23.6%. Analyst consensus tilts bullish — 43 Buys, 5 Holds, 7 Sells. Widest implied upside: QNTM to $8.00 (+262%).

CIN TAKE
Rangebound action continues with no macro edge to press. Position sizing should reflect the lack of directional clarity — smaller, catalyst-linked, and quick to reduce. Wait for either breadth expansion or a macro break before adding conviction.
