Last week was a bit of a shit-show. The Fed announced the ‘potential’ for an extra rate hike than had been expected; yet most of the
data that came out seemed decent with some even looking good.
I think the market was letting retail freak out a bit as the big boys did some rebalancing. Some of the larger options trades were Deep
ITM Calls on stocks that were most likely stock replacements.
It’s hard to predict precise market moves with the back and forth we’re seeing in the tariff tensions.
I do want to say this though…we ARE NOT in a trade war with China presently. Call it the “Art of The Deal” or call it market manipulation.
Call it whatever really, but again, I’d recommend options stay mostly in cash this week unless you’re swing/day-trading or taking on
options with expirations out to at least the July. Monthlies but the AUG to be safer.
Here’s the top flow of last week…

As a comparison, here’s the top flow on Friday.
So what can we try to get from all this?
Let’s start with the key indices…

$ES_F / $SPY / $SPX
Bull-trend intact long-term. The purple line drawn is the weekly reversal level [the chart is a one day tick though].

$DJIA / $YM_F / $DIA || $NDX $NQ_F $QQQ
Same as above really, as with the Nasdaq but expect more volatility from the $QQQs this week. Here’s charts of both, once again with
the purple lines representing the weekly reversal levels against a daily chart.
There is one difference and that is from a technical perspective, the Dow is in a minor bear trend from a daily outlook. I don’t think it’s
anything to worry yet, but I did add to my $DOG equity position last week (Inverse Dow ETF).

With that said, I’ve gotta say to expect another choppy week.

Here are my thoughts on daily trends [these are major turning points; it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t swing trade or
enter long positions in them, just watch these price levels regardless of which way you’re trading them…
Gold - Bearish until 1292.
US Dollar - Bullish until 93.45
Crude Oil [Light and Sweet - $CL_F) - Bullish Until 66.07
