Managed money is short Russell 2000 and Euro FX futures at the 2nd percentile of two years, and short Nasdaq 100 at the 5th, a rare triple crowding. Every AC pillar reads bearish except markets, which sits neutral, a split that flags positioning risk more than conviction. The next FOMC lands September 16, nineteen days out, with no fresh liquidity or auction data to lean on. If the shorts are wrong, the squeeze runs into the Fed; if they're right, this is confirmation, not divergence.
