hmmmm

when the markets don't move in the right direction on the latest company news what does that say? 

Walmart down on better than expected results...

I'm wondering if we are now entering the next phase of the bear market.

With a PC ratio at this high I bet the operators will have to make a big gap up tomorrow morning and hold it till 10 am to get the job done for the index settlement values.  I have seen this many times before .........................

Love it there's my flip about the mini crash lol!!  This expiration means nothing, its just a plain old expiration like all the other over 500 I have gone through lol!!  The expirations you can really follow are the quarterly ones where strike prices mean a little more.  The one thing I can say is this is for sure looking to be a down August expiration as I said at the start 7/21 and reaffirmed this past Monday.  Now there is nothing but a miracle or blu actually gets his rally by tomorrows close to change that by the looks of it, which is going to set up for a very interesting September cycle gotta say!!

My ES target 4380 reached... should hold, a pike or 2 down, but if this falls then 4200 handle traded very quickly.

Added QQQ & SPY CALLS. WILL open new IWM CALL position below 182

Since July 19 2023 market top, TSLA down 26% while other megacap tech names pulled back similar to QQQ like 5% or so.

My other pet $AMD moving like TSLA as well

Bonds and JPY at October 2022 low , USD setting up for a big run. SPX waking up but still so much dumb money floating around, ( aka flows)

After Aug opex CIT
