Weekly Pulse · Week of Jun 1-5, 2026 · As of Fri close

Bull · early regime held — but growth got sold hard. Energy and Health Care led, Discretionary and Tech lagged into Friday’s payrolls gap-down.

Honest framing. Retrospective read on the week’s closing positioning. SPY finished -2.50% on the week with a -2.58% Friday gap, yet the MPI composite stayed in Bull territory because trend, breadth, and credit sub-indicators held up. Sector dispersion was the story — not the index print. Not a forecast, not a recommendation.

Filtered for blocks > $300M weekly notional, regular and extended-hours sessions. % Avg Vol compares block size to the symbol’s 30-day average daily share volume. Most prints clustered into the 4 PM ET close session — quarter/month-end positioning, not panic exit. All eight clustered tech/comm-services megacaps.

Insider HeatmapNet SEC Form 4 $-flow by sector, 5-day window

All 11 GICS sectors printed net-sell for the week. Energy and Healthcare carried the deepest absolute-dollar net sells (one Energy block on Thu 6/4 dominated). Consumer Cyclical had a +$23M buy print partially offsetting a $441M sell tape, the best buy/sell ratio of the week. Insiders rarely flip from net-sell to net-buy quickly — this is the typical tape, not a panic signal.

This Week’s TellWhat the tape said — observation, not recommendation

Sector dispersion did the work the index couldn’t. Energy and Health Care led on classic defensive rotation while Tech and Consumer Discretionary carried -5% to -6% weekly drawdowns into Friday’s payrolls gap-down. Concentration showed the institutional positioning still tilted single-name growth — NVDA, MSFT, GOOGL absorbed the heaviest options flow across the week, with repeat call hits skewed bullish even as the tape sold off. Dark-pool blocks at quarter-end roll: $959M GOOGL on Monday, $808M AAPL on Thursday, $771M MU pre-earnings — large absorption near spot, not panic exit. Insider tape was net-sell across all 11 GICS sectors for the week, with Energy and Healthcare net-sells deepest in absolute dollars. The week’s tell: the index lost 2.5% but breadth held underneath, vol stayed cheap (VRP +8.3), and concentration money kept rolling structural calls in megacaps even into the Friday gap.

MethodologyHow this Pulse is built

MPI composite. Internal Market Pulse Index blends trend, breadth, volatility, yield curve, credit, sentiment, rotation, currency, and liquidity sub-indicators into a 0-100 score. The 85% confidence band reflects internal consistency across inputs, not a probabilistic forecast.
Sector tape. ETF close-to-close returns across the standard 11 GICS sector SPDRs plus SPY as benchmark. Week % anchored on prior Friday’s close.
Concentration. Aggregated unusual options activity (premium ≥ $5M per print) summed by ticker over Mon-Fri. Skew measured by call share of total premium. Open-interest change pending next-morning confirmation.
Dark pool. Off-exchange (TRF) prints filtered for ≥ $300M notional. Premium computed as size × execution price. Most prints land in the 4 PM ET close session.
Insider flow. Aggregated SEC Form 4 (open-market buy/sell) by sector over the 5 trading days. Net = buys − sells in dollars. Rule 10b5-1 prearranged trades included.
Movers. Filtered to ≥ $10B market cap to remove micro-cap noise. Week % from close-to-close anchored on prior Friday.
