The "Big Picture" Analysis
ETF Floor: Unlike previous conflicts, the 2026 market has an "institutional shield." Buyers are treating war-driven "FUD" as a buy-the-dip opportunity rather than a systemic collapse.

Liquidity Flush: Over $300M in long positions were wiped out over the weekend. The market is now "leaner," with leverage reset for the next move.
