News
-

Condition 1
SPY was rejected from ath
QQQ rejected the triangle breakout
Rejections were not strong

Condition 0
We open with gap lower
eth attempts to cover and come back in range failed

Thoughts
We have to wait and see what comes next
Was it only a backing away from "longer term poor high" or do sellers step in?

News
nfp came out
possible release of the Supreme Court ruling on the IEEPA tariff case
1000 Kashkari
1000 inflation numbers
1200 Bostic
1335 Barkin

Condition 1
Balancing around the ath
with mixed sectors

Condition 0
After nfp markets shot higher but came back in
open near y h

Thoughts
This messy balancing near the ath is clearly a low opportunity environment
Things will change
