5. How this was built

633 of 756 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.
