· Overview: USA SPY 448.6 displays support of 448, 445, and 440 and resistance at 450 455 and 460. SPY expected move +/- 2.6 QQQ 372.3 with resistance at 375, 380 and displays support of 370 365. QQQ expected move +/- 5.4. Global equities are risk-off with debt upgrade. Macro setup is negative with US$ higher and yields higher. Yields spiking post the Fitch downgrade is weighing on indices which are now in negative gamma which means market makers will sell dips and buy rips and volatility will increase. SPY 450, SPX 4500 were key support levels and below creates risk of SPX 4400. AMZN AAPL earnings may be significant market movers given the increase in Nasdaq volatility. SPY and QQQ are currently below the expected move for week which though statistically more likely to close inside open the risk for larger downside moves. QCOM earnings report is negative for semis and a negative read through for AAPL.

Trade Idea: COST
COST reported good same store sales and a defensive name. In my
opinion there is a potential long over 557 with target 561 – 566. Expected move
into end of week +/-8. Note market is weak so all stocks can be dragged down
with it but COST can benefit if there is a rotation.
