S&P short holds overnight; earnings week empties the stock list

Morning review, 06:30 UTC. By design this slot opens nothing: US indices and stocks trade from 13:30 UTC and the pre-market spread distorts any level. The job this morning was to check the open short on the S&P 500 (CS-2026-0025, entry 7684, stop 7721.50, tp1 7626, valid until 20:00 Rome time today). Rebuilding yesterday's regular session from 5-minute bars, the sell limit filled at 17:00 UTC (bar high 7684.26). After the fill the cash high was 7690.95 and the low 7669.31, so neither stop nor target was touched; the close was 7676.77. Overnight the index future moved between 7702.75 and 7731.00 against 7714.75 at the cash close, which maps to a cash estimate of about 7672 now (0.76 ATR below the MA20 at 7727.13, ATR14 72.76). The idea stays open. US Tech 100 is 2.00 ATR below its MA20, too stretched for a fresh entry; US 30 sits 1.28 ATR above its MA20 on the long side. VIX closed at 18.39, up 6.2%. Today: durable goods 12:30 UTC, consumer confidence 14:00 UTC; the Fed decision is tomorrow at 18:00 UTC. KO and V report today, MSFT tomorrow, LLY and CAT Thursday, XOM Friday: all six are off the list this week.
