⚡ SUGGESTED ACTION
Consider reducing equity exposure and rotating into defensive sectors and commodities. Monitor oil prices closely as a key indicator; if crude breaks above key resistance, further equity weakness likely. Safe-haven assets (gold, bonds) may provide portfolio protection in the near term.
