Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ SPY and QQQ finally broke the 20-day moving average on the daily, and we see a flush starting to form. With AMZN reporting AH, the VIX jumping, and Nasdaq futures down almost 1% pre-market, expect a volatile session in NY. Let’s have a sesh.

Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ On Monday I wrote about the possibility of indices hitting and breaking the 20-day moving average, and in yesterday’s session we began to see just that. Nothing is confirmed yet, as we still need a clean break for downside continuation. Today’s session could

Weekly Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ We begin February with a crypto bloodbath. Some of that spilled into the futures open last night, and the SPX implied overnight saw 6850. The Nasdaq is getting hit harder so far, so we’ll see if 6900 supports the market into the NY

Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ This is your EOM flows session. SPX is implied to open below 6950. ES is ranging pre-market, so we’re watching for a break of 6975 to the upside or a test and rejection of 6950 for more downside continuation like yesterday. Let’s have

Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ Our notes yesterday were on point — FOMC was a nothing burger, with the SPX daily range just over 35 points. Daily flows were also mute in stocks and Mag7 names, so there’s no edge for today’s session, especially with futures range trading pre-market.

Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ Happy FOMC day. We were heading toward 7000 SPX in yesterday’s session when traders started selling calls and buying puts right before lunchtime. We did hit the implied 7K overnight on futures, and now an attempt to break the uptrend pre-market is underway. A

Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ The stacked levels at 6975 and 6980 SPX, with a gap below, paint a clear picture of the range we’ll be watching for a possible break today: 6950–6980. Tomorrow is FOMC day, so we’ll see whether this range persists or an accommodative

Market Calendar (Week) $SPX & $QQQ It’s FOMC week once again, and the index ETF–related names are starting the week with a bit of technical weakness. There were absolutely zero flows on Friday, so we’ll most likely range above 6900 if it holds. Volatility returns with a

Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ We’re sitting in limbo above 6900, as there’s no expected catalyst left this week. Unless something new drops, we’re in for more range trading. A strong break below 6900 might give us something to trade. Otherwise, strong signals only. Let’s have

Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ On Monday I wrote: A tweet from Trump could take us back to 6900 in a matter of minutes — or break us below 6800 just as fast. So tread carefully. And that’s exactly what we saw over the past two sessions. On Monday, a

Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ We keep making new lows pre-market, and yesterday’s flows didn’t favor a bounce but rather a continuation to the downside. No one should be bullish with this market below 6900. We’re in a negative gamma–dominated environment, and chances are the downtrend

Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ The market sold off overnight and during the holiday, driven by Greenland tensions. As you can see, there’s not much support below 6850 besides a weak 6800. A tweet from Trump could take us back to 6900 in a matter of minutes — or break

Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ It’s OPEX day. $SPX is set to open around 6950, a really large level into today’s expiration. But even larger is the 7000 call gamma. Today we’ll be looking for a directional trade, so a trend day could be in the works.

Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ The $SPX did exactly what we forecast yesterday, testing 6900 and just below it. The strong break didn’t happen, so this bounce was also telegraphed. We still need a strong break below to enter true bear mode in this market. There’s some leftover

Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ Yesterday’s session proved the fragility of this rally. We’ve been downtrending since the CPI print, and the pre-market shows clear signs of weakness. Unless this trend breaks to the upside, continuation is to be expected, and a test of 6900 SPX is likely.

Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ We keep making new ATHs on $SPX, and this time the Nasdaq 100 helped us get there. Industrials are weak this morning (Dow Jones), and we’ll possibly open gapping down on $SPX. Index ETFs are carrying quite a bit of bearish flow, while individual
