All three tracked names are trading above their reset pivots this morning — and SPY is the one worth watching. It sat below its pivot in the early draft and has since reclaimed it, but a pre-market reclaim isn't confirmation. It still needs to hold through the 8:30 AM data reaction, and today's data is the biggest scheduled print of the week.

Session Bias: Neutral, Event-Driven (~40% conditional bull), fully confirmation-contingent on the 8:30 AM data reaction.

Core PCE and the second estimate of Q2 GDP hit at 8:30 AM ET — the largest scheduled data block of the week — followed by three separate Treasury auctions today, including a $70B 5-Year Note sale at 1:00 PM. Both nominal and real yields have firmed since yesterday's close, a headwind that offsets this morning's reclaim rather than confirming it. NVDA reports fiscal Q2 earnings after tonight's close, ahead of its confirmed 5:00 PM ET call — the dominant catalyst of the week regardless of how today's regular session resolves.

This is the headline read. Paid subscribers get the complete picture every morning before the bell — exact bull and bear targets with verified 2:1+ R:R math for all three tickers, institutional positioning (leveraged funds are still heavily net short both SPY and QQQ), the full options-flow breakdown (NVDA's two largest concentrations sit almost dead even at $210 and $215, both spanning tonight's earnings), and the full Thesis Tree with probabilities for the bull, bear, and chop scenarios.
