Overview: SPY 582 support 580 578.3 and resistance 585, SPY
expected move +/- 3.5; QQQ 500.75 with support 500 495 resistance
502 504.4 505 expected move +/- 4.3. USA indices pulling back in NY premarket
trading. Europe and China trading lower but Japan higher is a mixed global
set-up and USA indices are flat with small caps lagging. Bond yields lower is a
positive. ADP jobs data was better than expected which is a positive read into
Fri non-farm payroll but negative for FED rate cuts to support employment.
Advanced GDP was slightly lower than expected. Earnings: Semis are lower
post reports from AMD (missed earnings) and QRVO (light guide and major
AAPL supplier). GOOGL beat is lifting hyperscalers AMZN MSFT and associated
cloud names like TTD, CRWD, and even power names like OKLO, SMR. LLY miss will
affect NVO, VKTX, GLP1 names and potentially other big pharma.
Expected moves SPY(585.3-578.3), QQQ (504.4-495.9), IWM (223.4-220), SPX
(5867.9-5797.9)

Trade Idea: NVDA
NVDA is pulling back with AMD earnings miss and reduced guidance. Major customer SMCI is being investigated for reporting irregularities which is potentially weighing on NVDA. Typically NVDA bounces on every dip and a long trigger would be 140 but a fade can be considered < 138 with 135 target. GOOGL report indicated continued spending on AI which in theory is not a negative for NVDA however general selling of semis can take it lower.
