Swing Trade Ideas – March 19, 2021
Market View
World markets are mixed with USA indices green, Europe mixed , Japan red, Hong Kong red; China red, Asia mixed. Yield curve is flatter which is positive for tech and negative for financials. US dollar is slightly higher which is weighing on commodities with copper and oil lower. European covid related lockdowns are weighing on Euro stocks. Today is quad options expiration 25% of S&P, 40% of QQQ and 50% of single stock gamma rolling off. 3900 is high SPX strike level and 395 is the high SPY strike. With much of the SPX rolling off at 930 EST, 395/3950 is a possible pin level. QQQ puts expiring today can provide a catalyst where a bounce at the open can send the QQQ up to 315 or 320 which should be strong resistance. USA indices are favoring the momo tech stocks at the expense of the financials, so the rotation game continues. Volatility can be elevated at the open and into the close so keep your head on a swivel. Also know that the week after options expiration can have greater volatility.
