| SPY and QQQ are sitting just above their pivots this morning, while NVDA is just below its own. That puts the market at a decision point, and the open will tell us whether the rebound has real follow-through. |

| Session Bias: No Trade before the open, then Need Confirmation. The bull case only applies if SPY, QQQ and NVDA all reclaim and hold their pivots together. Conviction is low. |
| What’s driving it: Nasdaq futures are +0.74% and Asia bought the rebound, with the 10-year yield easing to 5.113%. Against that, credit is still not confirming the equity rally, UK inflation printed hotter than expected at 3.5%, and the 20-year Treasury auction lands at 1:00 PM ET. Meta, Tesla, Lam Research and IBM report after the close, so the lean depends on tonight’s earnings. |
| This is the headline read. Paid subscribers get all the information behind the trade: the full trade framework with long and short risk/reward on SPY, QQQ and NVDA, institutional positioning, options-flow concentrations, and the Thesis Tree with the exact evidence that would change the call. $49/month, cancel anytime. |
