What it is. Status: Status is a Capitol Whale market-data tracker covering status in real time. We aggregate SEC filings, exchange feeds, on-chain data, and Congressional disclosures to surface positioning, flow, and smart-money signals in one place.
How to read it. Read the top summary for the current state of status, then drill into the tables and charts for detail. Cross-links point to insider filings (Form 4), Congressional PTRs, dark-pool prints, and options flow so you can triangulate a signal quickly.
Why it matters. Status matters because retail traders now compete against algorithms and disclosed institutional flow. Tracking status on Capitol Whale gives you the same public-filing edge that professional desks build in-house — without the six-figure Bloomberg terminal.
What moves it. Status responds to broad market regime (risk-on vs risk-off), sector-specific catalysts, macro liquidity shifts, and the specific institutional flow this tracker captures. Cross-reference with the related trackers below for a fuller picture.
Common mistakes. Reading a single data point in isolation. Ignoring the base rate. Confusing correlation with causation. Failing to check the "last updated" timestamp before acting on stale numbers.
