The first trading day of October pretty much met our expectations, so now we watch gamma for clues as to the next move, Geopolitics are heating up and we have new inflation threats emerging.

The first trading day of October pretty much met our expectations, so now we watch gamma for clues as to the next move, Geopolitics are heating up and we have new inflation threats emerging.

We are getting the VIX pullback we wanted to see, and we have a loaded week of inflation data and more. What's next?

The GEX magnet at 5750 that we've noted for days finally hit with this morning's gap up before fading. Does this mean the bull move is over?

It's starting to feel like participants are running out the clock into quarter-end. Today, we look at where we might see a little more volatility despite SPX seemingly being pinned to 5750 into 9/30.

With election year seasonality looming, markets appear to be gearing up for what might be the final push higher in the short run.

No relief for volatility as the VIX gets crushed to below 16 today. Does election year seasonality hold, or will this year be a rare inversion?

We approach the end of the 3rd quarter this week into the following Monday. How will the market finish up (or down) for the quarter?

Despite the inherent uncertainty of Fed decision day, GEX gave a sense of order, accurately displaying the initial target in advance as well as the post-rally fade.

With monthly VIX expiration in the morning and the Fed's interest rate decision later, we are set for a potential shift in the volatility regime soon. Which direction is first?

We took some nice gains in our Educational Portfolio today as we prepare for a binary outcome ahead, which we discuss today in addition to some ideas shared on our YouTube channel.

We're excited to announce a beta rollout of a new website and additional features this evening, and we'll also delve into where we see markets heading into VIX expiration and the Fed this week. Big week ahead!

GEX swings to positive again for SPX and QQQ, but with VIX expiration this coming Wednesday, is it smooth sailing the entire way?

Looks like we got it right on 9/11 as far as playing the odds. Where does today's rally leave us?

9/11 is consistently bullish. Will tomorrow be the same as the last 17 years, or will CPI throw a monkey in the wrench (ignore that it's hard to throw a monkey in a wrench)?

The market is technically in a "danger zone," and gamma flipped negative Friday for SPX in meaningful fashion. Is this another bear trap or are the bulls actually in danger this time?

The yield curve just un-inverted, markets look like they’re in the process of a large double top formation, and the indices have all.…

The guessing game continues as to the market's next big move: Are we setting up for a larger rebound to retest upper resistance or is the plunge just beginning?

We certainly had a Whipsaw Wednesday, but now it's time to look ahead as the market draws closer toward choosing a direction for a larger move.
