•General: Leading: Solar, China bitcoin gold miners, bonds Lagging: Large cap tech, semis software
•Indices: USA large cap indices lower post earnings but rose in the European session with a fall in the US$. The meme is now that FED will be less hawkish and hence US$ lower, bonds are up. SPY 381 is above 380 major gamma level with 380, 375, and 372.5 support and 385 resistance. VIX 28.4 implies a 1.9% daily move. VIX futures are no longer inverted which is positive if it holds today. Tuesday was a big short covering day with short term calls driving indices higher. Earnings were poor; however, the move in the currency market can compensate. SPY 380 is a bull/bear line. Look for bounces on short covering in the big cap tech stocks should the indices hold up.

Trade Idea: MSFT
MSFT premarket trading at 233.4 with an initial earnings reaction of 230. Potential fade below 232.5 with 230 initial target and 225 and 220 targets if 230 fails. Ideally, look for an initial bounce to fail for a fade. Price > 237.5 can be used for a long if MSFT recovers with shorts exiting
