TODAY IN THE MARKETS
$SPX
A low #CPI triggered a 114-point jump that took it above the dominant trendline. At the open, sell orders above that level initiated a pullback that took it 126 points down to the 20DMA

Not what we would call a 1-day reversal, more upside to come
#SPX
$DIA
Same picture for #DIA, sell orders above Dec 1 high pushed the #DJI lower

It went down after an impressive initial rally
Bounced from 20DMA

#DJIA will continue to lead the rally

Not a pretty candle, but not exactly a 1-day reversal

#DowJones #trading #options #trading
$IWM

Same story

Perhaps an uglier candle, closer to a 1-day reversal than $DIA and $SPX.

$RTY looking much better

Bounced from important support in the trading channel

Big volume today.

#IWM needs to catch up with $DJI for accompanying leadership

$RUT #RUT #RTY_F #trading
$QQQ
Another bounce from the 20DMA after rallying and plunging

#QQQ looks very good in its trading channel, the 20DMA coincided with the channel support to stop the fall

Expecting it to heal the damage and continue in its uptrending channel

#NDX #NQ_F $NDX #NASDAQ #trading
$SMH
Make a fresh break above the recent highs, and closed barely under that level

This sector will help with the continuation of the advance

#SMH $SOX #SOX #semiconductor
#QQQ #SPX #trading #options #futures
#DayTrading
The $SPX stocks above 200DMA index

It closed at 61.63%

Looking good, it hit Dec-1 highs and pulled back, but not as much as #SPX

It continues to show inner strength in SPX

#trading #ES_F $SPY $ES #trading #options #futures #DayTrading #bearmarket #inflation #TradingSignals
The $SPX stocks above 50DMA index

It closed at 80.71% and below the 20DMA

Not a nice candle today, but in some way it's better that it didn't go to oversold territory

#SPX #ES_F #SPY $SPY $ES #trading #options #future #DayTrading #TradingSignals #MarketBreadth $QQQ $DIA $IWM
$TSLA

It was a drag on the market

Its chart shows very nasty technical damage

It marked a 2-year low today

It needs to close above 178 this week to have any hope, but it doesn't look like a real possibility

Are you looking for a stock to short?

#TSLA #FAANG #QQQ #SPX #ES_F
Chart of the day

$FLNC
Fluence Energy made a great breakout closing today above resistance.

It looks like a good candidate to go long, its chart shows no immediate resistance so it can go up without too much of a struggle

#FLNC #energy #ElectricVehicles #GreenEnergy
#SPX
$SPX Net $Gamma for Dec-16 $OPEX

#Gamma is the main issue to watch

Final adjustments and hedging (tomorrow and Thursday) will push the market to the place where MMs have the least risk

Bets are still scattered, but will be concentrated on two or three strikes

@TradeVolatility
$VIX $VVIX
It printed a very large bearish engulfing candle

There is nothing bullish in the #VIX chart, only that it managed to close above the 20DMA after piercing its line

It may have some bounces, but it looks like we'll have a sub 20 VIX this year

#VVIX $UVIX #SVIX $SVIX
$VVIX

Its chart looks much better than #VIX

It managed to print a green candle, despite of negative day (-3,26%)

It may be the precursor of more #volatility to come, but we need more evidence of this

$VIX #VVIX $SPX $ES $SPY #SPX #ES_F $SVIX $VIXY #trading #options #future

TODAY IN THE MARKETS
$VIX

Down day for the #SPX, and the #VIX closed down -6.26% and below 20DMA

Yesterday: large bearish engulfing candle
Today: Continuation

Despite the lack of sync this looks like a bullish development for $SPX

#ES_F #trading $SPY $ES #options #VIX $VVIX Image
$XLF
#XLF was rejected at 20DMA

The sector remains above the 200DMA, and near support

For the October #SPX rally to continue it's necessary for #XLF to hold above $34.40

#trading #banks #options #ES_F $SPX $SPY $ES #DayTrading #Futures #inflation #ratehikes #Fed #Financial
$QQQ
It is in "the pinch", right between the 100DMA and the 20DMA.
One is support, the other is resistance

Let's see which side #QQQ comes out on.

It's still in the uptrend channel.

Today in the markets
$SPX
An unexpected rally pushed #SPX 50 points higher today on increased volume

We can say it was a successful retest or bounce from the 100DMA

It closed at 20DMA and is now in the "pinch". Tomorrow we'll know which side #SPX is going to come out on

#SPX Image
$DIA
Another rally on higher volume

Today closed above the 20DMA, somewhat bullish if it is able to hold that ground.

Big impulsive green candle, indicating further upside

#DowJones Image
IWM rose on higher volume. It kissed the 100DMA today, which has offered resistance in recent days

It is still in the "extension" zone of its trend channel.
It needs to get back inside the main channel and break above the 100DMA

$SPX #0DTE scanner and $GEX charts from @TradeVolatility
3900 puts and 4000 calls continue to attract the highest number of bets

4000 call has the largest volume change

The struggle area now: 3950/3960

The safest 0DTE play is selling the 3900/4000 strangle for $1.50
#SPX #ES Image
We are going to sell the 3935/4000 strangle for $4.25

*Price went lower since the screenshot

Today in the markets:
$SPX $SPY $ES

#SPX bounced yesterday from 100DMA, moved higher today on slightly lower volume

Still below 20DMA. Failure to regain that level will be a significant crack in the October rally

Break below 3900 would be the death of the rally

#ES_F #SPX
$DIA $DJI $YM

#DJIA and #DIA have been rejected from 20DMA yesterday and today, but #YM_F closed above it today

It is important for DJI and DIA to close above 20DMA

It bounced yesterday from the lower edge of its trading channel

#DowJones #YM_F #trading #options #DayTrading
$QQQ $NDX $NQ
It bounced yesterday from channel support &continued today with slightly lesser volume

It's still below 20DMA, but still in a short-trend uptrending channel, and a mid-term downward channel

It need to close above 20DMA
