We are gapping up bigly here - we have news that Open AI is taking a stake in #AMD.  At this point, it's getting pretty stupid.  The amount of revenue required to justify this amount of wasteful spending on chips and datacenters is simply not going to print.  It's definitely worse by orders of magnitude than the Internet was back in the late 1990s.  These folks are spending $30 billion a month and taking in about $1 billion a month.  Not only that, it is not like this stuff is like the Railroads back in the 1800s - that was steel and wood that lasted decades.  A datacenter is poof, gone and obsolete in just a few years.  

People forget, but back when the Dot-Com bubble popped, we saw this kind of thing where companies started buying other adjacent companies. Lucent was one of the worst - they did like 25 billion in acquisitions on the way up to the top. Same stuff happening now. 

The ES futures gapped up about 4 points on Sunday, and they have not filled the gap.  Typically, we have a 90% chance to fill gaps up on the Futures the same day.  

Odds change depending on the circumstances and I'll review all that in the Chat this morning with subscribers. 

0DTE Options show panic - lots of hedging into the weekend due to "Shutdown" or "Gaza" or whatever it was.  None of it printed and all we got we more stupid from the AI bunch, so short covering is again the story.  The 0DTE Setup is very bullish today and I'll run those numbers (average gains) in the chat as well.

No economic data to speak of, but the Shutdown odds keep climbing.  Polymarket has it at a 70+% chance it lasts through mid-month.  Trump sent a minion out to say if he didn't feel like there was progress, they'd be laying people off - whatever that means.  For what it's worth, the Ds said no one picked up the phone to call this weekend from the other side.  I'd say it's stalled, both sides dug in.  

Depending on what poll you look at most people blame Trump, but it's not like a landslide and he has solid support from his base still (which is all he really cares about).  Will be looking to see how this develops once the consequences start rolling in - if he REALLY wanted to fire a bunch of people, I think he would have done it already.  Kind of seems like he's waffling to me.

We are gapping up slightly here and running over the Call Wall on SPY at 670 and into the 0DTE Implied Highs.  This will cause some selling.  Be careful up here because we have been seeing large, red 30-minute bars when this kind of thing happens. 

Still watching the crash setup from a couple days ago.  Just because it's up a couple days doesn't mean much to be honest.  

I still see Call to Put Gamma very elevated (meaning lots of call buying).  Put Call Ratios got into the bad place too.  Once we squeeze some of these early shorts in select names, we may have found out last buyers.  

Vix continues to remain elevated, likely from continued pressure from the Chaos unfolding in DC. 

We had a fire at a refinery in California - that is something to watch because California gas is special and the oil companies charge them and arm and a leg for it.  Could make gas prices move in California. 

Despite the setup on the dailies looking so ominous, we continue to see day trading work for us - I'm targeting the 0DTE Implied Lows hopefully again today for a long.  It worked almost to the tick yesterday and we caught nice trade off those levels.

We are gapping up into the Call Wall on SPY at 670.  Typically, that results in market makers coming out to slam this down.  The 30-Minute charts are roasted and toasted, so we might need to rest here.

We are still working through a crash setup, but we saw yesterday the market tipped its hand.  I said I wanted to see if shorts got squeezed because they had really loaded the boat up with puts and we got the squeeze yesterday.  You could tell because we went parabolic into the 2:30 PM EST margin call timeslot and after that it kind of stopped going up.  Don't get complacent because the same thing happened on 7/31/24 and the next week it still crashed.

Korea again was up 2%, dragging gold and bitcoin with it.  Some of the chip stocks that have been resting for weeks like #AMD are revving back up this morning and trying to run again.  

The Challenger Jobs Cuts report showed layoff intentions kind of moderating.  That's good to see.  I still expect the DOGE stuff to kind of peak into the Fall (especially if the elections turn out poorly for Rs).  Fed cutting into improving jobs market should create large inflation.

Still ALOT of hedging going on, betting on the market to go down, whatever you want to call it right now. 

I got some comments on the Bank puts yesterday so I figured I would share the chart, so you can see what I see.  I did screw up one thing, instead of 34,000 puts, it was "only" 11,000 on the volume (I looked at the wrong axis on the graph, mea culpa).  It is still ALOT of puts compared to normal.  Red bars/yellow bars = Put Volume, Open Interest and the Green Bars = Calls Volume, Open Interest and the bottom oscillator just measures when there is imbalance in the flow.  

It looks like those 11,000 puts never made it into the OI (so they were probably a 1-day hedge, but I think they were LEAPS way out into 2026 and 2027 if I recall).  None the less, if you look at individual names (MS or JPM) and even the KRE (Regional Bank ETF) there is still heavy put buying going on (and it is making its way into the OI).  So, the broader theme is still a lot of hedging going on.  

And if the timing is off just a little bit - those folks will have to cover their shorts, close their puts with a loss, etc. This is what we have going on right now.  

My number 1 rule for shorting is that I don't do it until the indexes fall under the 200 Day Moving Average.  I find it just doesn't work nearly as well as when we are in a Primary Uptrend. 

The gamma ratios are setting up bearish here after yesterday's bender.  Typically, it takes a day or two to roll over, but I'm expecting weakness sometime in the next week.

Asia last night was a bit of a blood bath, but Europe is buying the dip. 

I don't trust this despite the setup being pretty good - I got long signals on the RTY last night but had to close up my trades with small gains after I saw the 0DTE Skew this morning. 

We are in a crash setup - the last 2 times this happened we had -7% drawdowns within a week.  Will it happen again?  I have no idea.  I just know enough to know that I stay far away if this kind of thing starts.  The put buying on the Banks and insurance stocks is obscene right now.  Someone dropped 34,000 Puts on the KBE (Bank ETF) yesterday and that thing rarely trades that kind of volume.  For comparison there were 393 Calls purchased yesterday.  

Typically, that kind of stuff resolves in a short squeeze / bullish.  But this is that rare circumstance where they are paying so much, so fast for puts that it should give you pause.  What do they know?

ADP Employment data is a disaster, and we are back to pricing in 5-6 cuts again.  The local and state government DOGE stuff is hitting hard.  And Argentina is back to performing poorly after Bessent jawboned the market higher for a few days - they are going to need a Bailout and it ain't going to be cheap.  

The line in the sand is 6700 today on ES - under that and it's a no touch until we retest overnight lows, else it's probably fine (for today, not the rest of the week).  

PLEASE BE CAREFUL THIS IS NOT A JOKE.
