Quiet pre-market: US 500 at band edge, US 30 short-side watch
No new idea this morning, by design: at 06:30 UTC US cash markets are seven hours from the open and pre-market liquidity is too thin to set levels. No positions are open and no reviews are pending.
Overnight quotes are slightly lower: estimated US 500 7,786.9 (-0.19%), US Tech 100 31,058 (-0.33%), US 30 51,024 (-0.31%). VIX closed at 15.08.
Watchlist for the afternoon, as distance from the 20-day average in ATR14. US 500 sits at +1.48 ATR, at the very top of the 0.5-1.5 band, long only. US 30 is at -1.26 ATR, inside the band on the short side. US Tech 100 is at +2.41 ATR, too stretched. Among stocks: TSLA +0.95, LLY +0.96 and V +0.75 on the long side, KO -1.35 on the short side. NVDA, MSFT and JPM are too stretched. AAPL, WMT, XOM and CAT are inside the noise zone, CAT after a -5.7% session. HD misses the band by 0.04 ATR.
Calendar: weekly jobless claims at 12:30 UTC. It does not block, but it can move the open.
