Team,

Powell testifies tomorrow! Let’s discuss today’s price action and how the market is setting up into the event.

-Andrew


Economic Data:

Today’s session kicked off with factory orders that came in negative, but better than the consensus estimates!

ZN_F 10yr treasury futures tested the monthly point of control before finding sellers.

ZN_F Daily Chart

Beware the Jaws

Leaving the jaws setup between Nasdaq QQQ and ZN_F 10yr futures as wide as ever! Duration sensitive equities and bonds continue to exist in two alternate realities.

Equity Dashboard

The powerful two-day equity rally we experienced at the end of last week fizzled out. All indices closed toward the low end of their respective daily ranges, and the small caps experienced a significant selloff. The IWM small caps and QQQ Nasdaq have a 90-day correlation of ~.79, so a divergence of this magnitude is incredibly odd.

Return on Vol Crush

Equity volatility has been absolutely crushed over the past few weeks

ES_F S&P 500 Price Action Analysis

The ES S&P 500 traded inside the monthly value area and above the 20-day SMA intraday before falling back below both levels into the close. Powell is queued up to either push us through resistance, or send us back to the recent lows!

Let’s discuss the game plan into tomorrow’s session!
