5. How this was built

637 of 749 categories were below the size floor ($300M cap, $50M volume) and were dropped. Without that filter, dead micro-cap baskets print percentage moves in the billions and top the list. Every number here comes from market data. The theme names and the one-line explanations are written from the day's headlines. Where a group moved with no headline behind it, we say so rather than inventing a reason. This is an observation of what moved, not advice and not a recommendation. This tells you where attention went today; it does not tell you what happens next.

Lending leading while the little bot theme faceplants is exactly the kind of split I love seeing laid out like this! Only thing that bugs me is one coin showing up as the top name in two different themes - makes me wonder how much of that oracle vs restaking move is actually the same trade wearing two hats. Gonna wait for a second day of follow through on the lending names before I touch anything, chasing day one of a theme index has burned me plenty.
