Overview: USA indices show a mixed premarket with Nasdaq being weak and other indices positive. SPY 408 displays a support of 405, 400, and 395 with resistance of 410. I expect the SPY to move +/- 2.5. QQQ 316 displays resistance of 320 and support of 315, 310, and 305. I expect the QQQ to move +/-2.5. Major news was the spike in oil after OPEC cut. Indices and FAANGMT stocks had outsized moves last week and now consolidation / pullback in my opinion, is expected. I think the move on oil is less than expected as it is inflationary, and I would have thought yields and US$ would have risen more. S&P 500 seems very resilient despite the negative macro data; hence I am looking for a rotation from large cap growth to value/commodities should this continue. ISM data at 9:30ET will be market moving where poor data is positive for markets. Energy stocks are strong but extended; therefore, I will be careful with chasing on open.

Trade Idea: TSLA
TSLA is pulling back after a huge squeeze on Friday. Deliveries were 4% higher after cutting prices by 20%, which on the surface is poor; however, TSLA does not trade on fundamentals and Mondays are usually call buying days. Premarket 200 is a major level and one can consider longs above with targets of 205 and 210 and fades below with targets of 195 and 190. My expected move for the week +/-14.
