support 581 580 and resistance 586 585 SPY expected move +/- 2.6 QQQ 493.5 with
support 491 490 resistance 495 497.6 expected move +/- 3.3. Global
indices are generally lower premarket ex-Chain. USA SPY is outperforming IWM
which was weak Monday. Monday USA equity breadth was weak as long yields rose
sharply. 10Y bond futures are at the bottom of the weekly expected move hence
extended with potential for a bounce from oversold. Higher yields are usually
negative for bond proxies like Reits, Utes and regional banks with large bond
holdings. USA equities were generally weak Monday however NVDA was able to
support the indices. Premarket NVDA is positive but the remainder of MAG7 are
red. SPY is currently near the bottom of the daily expected move. Indices are
still positive gamma which means dips will be bought and rips sold but can see
violent rotation. Gold and silver are up again premarket but need to take care
as volatility works in both directions. SPX 5800 remains an important bull/bear
level.

Trade Idea: GE
GE premarket has moved lower greater than the expected move post earnings. Earnings beat but revenue missed. Stocks that move > expected move can continue in the same direction. Premarket 182.3 with put positions at 180 which can act as support or acceleration lower. 50sma at 178 is another potential support level. Expect a short covering bounce/retracement on the open but ultimately look for a long entry either off 180 or 50sma once the dust settles over the next few days with caveat that the 50sma needs to hold.
