Global indices lower overnight with Korea and Japan leading to downside. Yen is
higher on comments that Japan may continue to increase rates which is negative
for the carry trade. Nasi is leading to the downside with semis weak with
catalyst du jour NVDA served with an anti-trust subpoena. AMD is higher on the
notion that they can benefit. USA indices are below the weekly expected move,
hence oversold but dealers are in negative gamma where selling will lead to
selling. SPX5500 is the bull/bear level to watch today. It would be normal for
indices to bounce on the open but care should be taken at 10ET with the release
of the JOLTs report and USA factory orders. Semis and NVDA are one sector to
watch for either continuation lower or bounce. Security names are moving wth ZS
earning; dollar stores slammed with DLTR earnings and spec tech names reports
generally weak ex-GTLB. Vix futures are not yet inverted but getting
close which is a strong warning signal that hedging is increasing so take care
if daily expected moves break, especially SPX5500.

Trade Idea: NVDA
NVDA is down on the anti-trust news. There are large put positions this week at 105, 100 and call positions at 105 and 110. Expected move is +/-6. Bull bear level is 105 with a break below leading to further selling. Premarket high is 108 which is first level of resistance on a bounce. Look for bounces to be likely sold.
