Overview: SPY 606.7 support 605 604 and resistance 607.5
610, SPY expected move +/- 2.3; QQQ 528.1 with support 526 525 resistance
530 532, expected move +/- 3.1; Global indices are weaker premarket and macro
is not supportive with long yields continuing to increase. Market breadth has
been weakening but market cap weighted indices have been lifting on outsized
moves in selective MAG7, with GOOGL and TSLA the main drivers Wed. Equal
weighted index is at the bottom of the weekly expected move so question is
whether this behaviour will continue. *** PPI was .4% vs 0.2% and UE claims
242k vs 225k. Reaction: SPY lower to 606, QQQ lower to 527, IWM lower to 236.7,
TLT small bounce. *** S&P500 is in positive gamma which means dips should
be bought. SPX 6070 is a level where below volatility can increase and 6060 is
the put wall which should act as support with acceleration below. ADBE earnings
beat but disappointing guidance is weighing on the hot software sector. CIENA
earnings miss and flat revenue Y/Y is a negative for the networking names. MAG7
which have lifted the market cap weighted indices are generally weaker led by
NVDA to the downside. Many of these names are extended and some giveback is
normal. AAPL is a potential name that can be bought if index holds up and some
big market cap names are sold. Correlation is low and typical behavior is to
buy other sectors and large names to support the index with assumption index
doesnt broadly dive. Premarket looks like staples names like WMT COST PEP will
be bought. CELH is a speculative staple name that received an upgrade.
Expected moves SPY(609.6-605.4), QQQ (532.9-526.9), IWM (239.7-235.9), SPX

Trade Idea: CELH
CELH was a high flying energy name that was knocked down due to inventory build-up in the channel that is clearing. Upgrade today and potential rotation into staples makes CELH an interesting high Beta idea. CELH is call heavy above 30 with 32.5 35 40 potential upside targets. Up premarket can be a momentum long above premarket high (31) or on pullbacks > 30. If looking for lower beta staples can consider PEP WMT and COST (which reports after the close).
