Daily Macro & Options Flow Brief
Thursday, October 15, 2026  |  Pre-Market
Good morning. Wednesday’s CPI gap swept all three names lower and nothing came back. At the 6:45 AM marks, SPY, QQQ and NVDA are all trading below their pivots, with the 8:30 AM ET data cluster still to print before the open.
Ticker 6:45 AM Resistance Pivot Support
SPY $767.00 774 767.50 761
QQQ $720.20 734 724.50 715
NVDA $216.70 224 218.50 213
Bias: No Trade before the data, then Need Confirmation. Marginal bear edge, low conviction (40% bear / 30% bull / 30% chop, subjective weights, not measured probabilities). The bear case needs two consecutive synchronized 15-minute closes below all three pivots with failed retests. The bull case needs two consecutive synchronized closes above all three with successful retests. Pre-market marks are not closes.
What is in the full report: rates and real yields, market breadth and credit, institutional positioning, options volume concentrations, a session bias for Tokyo, London and New York, trade frameworks with R:R math for SPY, QQQ and NVDA, and a thesis tree with exactly what would change our mind.
