Stocks: SKX+2.2%, DECK+11%, CNC+0.9%, MMM+6%, BMY+4.9%, DXCM-35% EPS
Overview: Pre: PCE USA SPY 543 with support at 540, 535, 533 and
resistance at 543.3, 545, 548. SPY expected move +/- 4.9. QQQ 463.8 with
resistance 464.3 465 470 and support 460 455 expected move +/- 6. PCE 2.5% vs
2.4% forecast but lower compared to prior print. Initial reaction is US$ lower
and TLT higher which is usually supportive to equities and gold. USA indices
are at the top of the daily expected move hence a pullback at the open would be
normal. S&P is in negative gamma hence large swings are to be expected with
a breakout above the premarket high potentially leading to a trend day or
conversely a retest of the Thursday lows. MAG7 is led by NVDA TSLA and META.
IWM is extended, above the weekly expected move, and is the most sensitive to
rate expectations and has downside exposure to a higher than expected PCE.
Bitcoin is in play with a bitcoin conference this week that Trump is speaking
at, ETHE, IBIT or bitcoin related names like HUT, MARA, CLSK, COIN, IREN are
names to watch.

Trade Idea: BMY
BMY has moved > expected move on an earnings beat. BMY has been a serial underperformer which has broken out of a downtrend. Extended in the short term but a name to watch for with a target of 52. Dividend 5.3% and in a space that can attract money if there is a rotation from growth to value. Covered call candidate for yield enhancement. Ideally look for pullback > 45
