Stocks: ZIM +3.5%, AYX +3.5%, SKX +1%, MU +1.5%, Upgrades PYPL -1.3% downgrade. Semis in general are continuing the weakness post Huawei 7nm, TSM and China AAPL news from last week. FAANGMT weak at key levels with AAPL potential support name
Overview: USA SPY 442.5 support 440 and resistance 443 445 . SPY expected to move +/- 1.9 QQQ 369 with resistance 370 372 and support 369 365 . QQQ expected to move +/- 2.4. Premarket setup is negative with weakness in global equities, with USA tech i.e. FAANGMT leading USA to downside. Yields are rising which in theory is negative for equities but US$ is unchanged. No major economic news or earnings reports, hence market will be in the hands of the 0DTE traders. The next 2 weeks are a period of less support and with negative gamma potential for larger moves. Rotation into non-tech is the setup with Russell 2000, energy (extended), insurance and potentially AAPL serving as ballast should S&P500 hold up today - Stocks to watch: XOM, AAPL, DIS, SLV, C, TSLA, NVDA, AMD, F, JD, Spec Names: ARM, MSOS, RIOT

Trade Idea: AAPL
AAPL is at a key support level and currently outperforming FAANGMT. Straddle approach today with long > 175 and fade < 173.8. AAPL may be used as a support stock with other FAANGMT weak. Expected move +/- 1.9
