All three names built real overnight cushion after Wednesday’s post–Fed break, and the rates/vol backdrop moved with the tape rather than against it. Here’s where SPY, QQQ, and NVDA stand heading into the open, and what still has to confirm before the session settles.

Ticker Spot Pivot Bias
SPY $760.10 $758.00 Bullish
QQQ $711.90 $709.50 Bullish
NVDA $217.10 $215.50 Bullish

Session Bias: NEED CONFIRMATION, cautious bullish lean – 40% bull / 35% bear / 25% chop–split.

What’s driving it: The 10Y eased to 4.984%, DXY eased to 100.203, and VIX dropped sharply to 16.13 – futures are green across the board and Asia/Europe closed risk–on. Those are the exact conditions the bull case has been waiting on. The one thing that hasn’t moved: breadth is still sitting on Wednesday’s weak close, and pre–market price can’t confirm that on its own. Today’s real test comes in three stages – the 7:00 AM BoE decision, the 8:30 AM data cluster, and the 1:00 PM 10–year TIPS reopening.
