US dollar higher is usually negative for commodities and equities. Commodities are mixed with oil and softs red but metals including precious metals higher. USA markets are being led by the Nasdaq and Russell2000 with leadership by the tech sector and smaller cap tech specifically. S&P500 and Nasdaq futures are slightly higher after a quiet session. ES resistance 4215 and support 4175 with 4160 the gamma flip line where prices can drop quickly below. Sectors and stocks of interest: Security – ZS EPS and target raise, watch OKTA and CRWD; Retail – URBN DKS ANF CPRI EPS; Squeeze names – GME gamma squeeze and rumor of NFT platform launch AMC gamma squeeze. Gamma squeeze can lead to outsized moves driven by call options. Primary S&P500 thesis is contained range 4215-4175 with dispersion under the hood. Alternate thesis of trend break in either direction is not indicated in the premarket and there is no major economic catalysts today.

ZS is a cloud based security company that beat and raised guidance. Analysts have raised price targets in the range 206-245 to provide a catalyst for higher prices. Short interest 6.5% is a slight catalyst. Currently 193 in premarket. One can trade for a momentum move or look for a pullback on the open for a long. 200 is the first resistance level and above 200, 207 and 230 are targets for swing.Other names to watch today are OKTA (earnings this week) and CRWD or the HACK etf for security stocks.
