The index and volatility reference are live. They establish the visible move, while the desk keeps breadth and constituent participation separate until those measurements are wired.

What this surface can and cannot establish

What is live

The board carries the S&P 500 and VIX. Breadth, sector contribution, dealer positioning, and constituent-level participation are not connected here.

How to use it

An index move is a starting point, not a participation diagnosis. Compare the level with the instruments that would show whether the move is broad or concentrated.

What would change the read

A participation read requires an attributable breadth or contribution series. The desk withholds that conclusion until it has one.
