Nothing Is As Calm As It Seems... 🟢 TRADE IDEAS & DISCORD: https://www.patreon.com/figuringoutmoney The market went basically nowhere today and it is continuing to tell us to proceed with caution, and in this video we walk through why nothing is as calm as it seems underneath this sideways tape as the weekly expected move on SPX jumped roughly forty percent from nine point one one to thirteen twenty five signaling the market is sniffing out volatility that has not shown up yet. We break down today's sector action with utilities, energy and materials leading while consumer discretionary, communication services and healthcare lagged giving the tape a subtle risk off tone, the S&P 500, QQQ and IWM sitting slightly above declining five day moving averages, semiconductors pushing near the upper weekly implied move with Broadcom already tagging its upper weekly, Nvidia coming into and fading its upper weekly, and Micron closing right at its upper weekly. We cover the earnings landscape with Google reporting and trading near the lower end of its earnings expected move but well within the weekly implied move, Tesla dropping toward its lower weekly and lower earnings expected move, Texas Instruments doodling near the lower earnings expected move, and why Intel is the critical semi print to watch because a bad response could pull the whole SMH complex back down while a strong response could unlock the next leg. We break down how the reflexive bounce thesis from last video played out with beaten down leaders SpaceX, Oracle, ARM, Marvell, WDC, BE and NDIS all ripping the next session, which is exactly the kind of behavior you expect in Bear Strong environments after fast, hard sell offs. We walk through the Conditions Matrix now shifting into Bull Weak with the SPX sitting just barely above the gamma flip line making this a neutral gamma, fully path dependent tape where a break lower opens volatility like a rocket ship and a break higher lets volatility keep bleeding, why position sizing has to stay smaller and risk has to be cut before a full R loss in this environment, and how the NQ twenty nine two fifty to thirty thousand zone frames the bullish optimism range with thirty thousand as the level to reclaim for real bullish confidence. We cover the VIX flipping out of negative gamma at sixteen point six four with vol of vol not yet screaming warning at the one ten to one twelve zone, COR3M sitting at seven point five four which is deeply suppressed and historically precedes rising implied correlation and volatility, the DSPX over COR3M ratio still near highs keeping the dispersion trade fully on, the ten year yield and oil both ripping in the last four sessions with the thirty year bond coiling on the weekly chart which is not a great sign for equities, crude oil tagging its upper weekly implied move and XLE tagging and backing off its upper weekly, and how a potential peace deal narrative could knock oil back and drag yields down. We finish with TLT setting up for another bounce trade, the dollar defensive above one hundred and consolidating, and the expected moves going into tomorrow with SPX seven fifty two upper and seven forty two lower, the declining five day moving average still capping price action, and the seven fifty gamma exposure level as the line that has to break to open the door higher. __________________________________________________________________________________________ 🔔 Subscribe now and never miss an update: https://www.youtube.com/c/figuringoutmoney?sub_confirmation=1 📧 For business inquiries or collaboration opportunities, please contact us at [email protected] 📈 Follow us on social media for more insights and updates: 🟢 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/figuringoutmoney 🟢 Twitter: https://twitter.com/marketmike ______________________________________________________________________________________________ DISCLAIMER: I am not a professional investment advisor, nor do I claim to be.
