WHAT WE’RE WATCHING
The 8:30 AM inflation and growth reports land together, so the first reaction can be hard to read. Our approach is to wait for the cash-session response rather than trade the first move, and to see whether breadth, volatility and yields agree.

Key levels for SPY, QQQ and NVDA, session bias and how it could change, institutional positioning, options volume concentrations, credit and internals, and the full trade framework with entry conditions and invalidation.
