Trading notes: Strong response from the market on Monday, following the 5-day sell-off last week, and huge sell-off on Friday. This was exactly what the market had to do to day. Now it needs to show the ability to provide continuation on top of what we saw yesterday, and at the very least, 622 on
Trading notes: First major sell-off on Friday, of that proportion, since May. Stocks are attempting to bounce this morning, but overall, the market should be viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism. Divergences had been running wild going into Friday, and now they are confirmed. After rallying every single day, the week prior, last week,
Trading notes:Â SPX and NDX futures are soaring in the pre-market with new all-time highs to be established at the open. However, things are deteriorating fast under the surface, and that is showing up with Russell 2000 futures dropping about a half percent in a diverging move from the large cap indices.

Trading notes:Â One aspect I'm seeing with a lot of charts right now, and some of it may be due to earnings fallouts, is a lot of good charts, and breakouts and technical patterns getting quickly ambushed. I think this market, while over leveraged and euphoric, is also looking around for where the money is going
Trading notes:Â I jumped out of UBER late yesterday for a myriad of reasons: 1) Hard sell-off in a market that was showing decent strength otherwise. 2) Notable break below the rising trend-line into the close 3) TSLA earnings after hours and the potential for a robotaxi disrupting comment during the earnings call that would send
Trading notes: Despite a hard sell-off at the open yesterday, dip buyers stepped in with heavy call buying to bring the indices back to break even. The weakness seen early on, wasn't broad based, in fact, it was limited to technology and more specifically semiconductors that were experiencing heavy selling from NVDA and AVGO. So
