Sectors

Rotation was visible at the sector level. Zero Knowledge finished +4.3% while Storage & Compute closed -0.6%, a spread of 4.9 points across the 10 sectors we track; 6 of them rose and 4 fell, with the middle of the pack (DeFi) at +0.1%. Storage & Compute lagging a rising market suggests the bid was selective rather than indiscriminate.
