Overview: USA SPY 473 support 472.8 470 and resistance
475 480. SPY expected move +/- 3.9 QQQ 407.5 with resistance
410 413.5 415 and support 406.5 405 400 ; expected move 3.9. Global
equities are risk-off premarket with weak Chinese data and Tues Waller comments
catalysts. Breadth of NYSE is shrinking with Russell falling rapidly and at the
bottom of the weekly expected move. Large cap indices were supported by
outsized moves in a small number of FAANGMT names. Today Indices enter the
window of weakness with Vix expiration which increases the potential of larger
than expected moves. Opening bounce would be normal but S&P and IWM are
close to the bottom of daily expected moves which can lead to larger down moves
on breach Breaches of daily expected move can lead to outsized
moves. Today daily expected move levels: SPY (480.6-472.8) QQQ
(413.5-405.7), IWM (196.5-190) SPX(4820.4-4747.2).

Trade Idea: SPY
SPY levels today. Daily expected move 480.6-472.8 with price currently below the bottom which can lead to continuation lower towards 470. Look for a bounce at open and if bounce fails < 473.5 then a potential fade towards bottom of expected move and 470. On bounce look for 475 for resistance
