- News: USA: UE claims, Philly Fed 8:30ET UK: Rates unchanged
- Stocks: CSCO =5% buying SPLK GOOGL Potentially moving from AVGO -5.7% to MRVL +3%; FDX +5% EPS
- Overview: USA SPY 435.06 displays support of 435 and 433 with resistance at 440 and 442. I expect the SPY to move +/- 2.3 QQQ 360.6 shows resistance at 365 and 370 with support of 360, 358, and 355. QQQ I believe is expected to move +/- 2.6. FOMC hawkish rate forecast mixed with traders leaning bullish and led to an unwind of calls and a sharp drop, which has led global equities to lower and stronger yields and US$. USA indices are close to important gamma levels which will act as either support or further downside acceleration if breached [SPY 365 QQQ 360]. I personally think there is a notable weakness in semis (potential breakdown) and FAANGMT.

Trade Idea: QQQ
QQQ major gamma level is 360 which is a key level which can act as support or acceleration lower. Resistance on a bounce is 365 and support below at 355. Short covering will likely lead to a bounce that will retrace and be important for 360 to hold. Semis are weak in particular and I am looking to see if AAPL is used for support today. XLE is pulling back with oil. I will take a straddle approach with fade < 90.7 or alternatively bounce trade > 91.5. TRP currently on a sell but oversold on stochastics.
