Stocks: A+2.8% strong move no news MU+1.8% lawsuit CCL+1.4%, NVDA-2%,
SMCI-2.1%, BA-1% lawsuit
Overview: USA SPY 544.6 with support at 542 and 540, and resistance at 545
and 546.6; SPY expected move +/- 2.1. QQQ 478.5 with resistance at 480 and
482.8, and support at 477.6 and 475; QQQ expected move +/- 2.6. Global indices
are higher premarket but USA indices are mixed with Russell2000 leading and QQQ
slightly lower. IMO the rotation is continuing with some profit taking in
AI/semis into lagging value names. Macro set-up is mixed with long yields
rising but US$ pulling back. NVDA pullback continues which leads to
buying in other names to balance. TSLA and META are candidates but the other
MAG7 are potential. Fri saw a rotation into XLI, XLF, XLV, DIA as tech was
distributed. Possibilities are either for the rotation to continue or
alternatively the indices pull back. Russell indices are rebalancing this week
and SMCI will leave R2000 and is the largest holding. This can add to SMCI
downside pressure but can benefit some of the other holdings. Small cap biotech
are a potential (XBI) as there have been some positive trial data and may
benefit from rebalance. NKE (Fri idea) MU FDX CCL are reporting this week and
may get a bid. MU was upgraded and currently up after pulling back with the
rotation out of AI/Semi names. Bitcoin related names are getting hit with news
that 10yr after MtGox hack, 140,000 bitcoin are being returned. MSTR, MARA,
CLSK, RIOT moving lower with bitcoin. Buyback windows closing for major
stocks will reduce the mechanical bid for stocks which removes some support so
take care in the coming week. Large cap indices are technically bullish but
stretched and breadth is mediocre but seasonality is positive. Post monthly
opex can be bumpy so caution is advised. SPX 5400 is the key hold level for
bulls. Today’s daily expected move levels: SPY (546.6-542.4), QQQ
(482.8-477.6), IWM (201.7-199), and SPX (5485-5444).

Trade Idea: AMZN
AMZN is a potential breakout candidate looking for it to move over 190. High call open interest at 190 and an expected move for the week of +/-3.3 and Jul19 calls targeting 200. AMZN was strong on Friday was NVDA slipped and MAY be a beneficiary from money rotating out of pure AI names into others that can benefit from AI but not the prime business.
