Liquidity pressure rose from 60 to 62 on the October 29 observation, while the composite score moved from -0.2056 to -0.239. The underlying daily inputs were mixed: Treasury cash fell $36.898 billion to $1.015632 trillion and measured net dollar liquidity increased $29 billion to $5.730 trillion, while the Federal Reserve balance sheet declined $8 billion to $6.746 trillion. Overnight reverse repo rose only $0.177 billion; the SOFR-IORB spread narrowed one basis point to 4, high-yield spreads narrowed four basis points to 314, and the 10-year real yield rose 0.03 percentage point to 2.67%.

Public risk gauges improved on October 28: the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and semiconductor index rose, their drawdowns narrowed, and VIX fell from 17.52 to 16.91. XAI moved the other way on October 29, closing at $0.00708 versus $0.00777 as recorded spot volume rose to $303,157.60. Open interest then fell $179,444.40 to $1,373,402.20 by October 30, while funding stayed at 0.005%. Holder count fell four, pool stakers rose one and the six-month premark measure increased 0.133909 million XAI. These are concurrent observations, not evidence that one series caused another.
