Let's go to platform take a look Weird day of trading today overall. I mean I was this is this is just a five-minute chart of the VIX now I was looking at the VIX this morning when we had this big red bar And I don't know if it was just kind of a quick anomaly, but the the VIX at one point was down six percent Whereas the VIX futures were only down about a half percent And then I thought okay, maybe that was just a kind of a quirky, you know price pre-market kind of a deal But then you know, we had this we had a huge sell-off. Let's go to the ES Let's go the S&P So we started out the day pretty flat all the broad markets were pretty flat and then we just we had this huge sell-off in the morning and The the Russell led the way selling off than the down the S&P followed the Nasdaq was still holding holding on to pretty pretty close to even and Then all sudden it started to sell off So I thought okay, maybe we'll get a little bit of follow-through and as soon as that happened boom We bounce back higher and even though volatility. I mean you see the VIX futures are up Volatility is up the VIX the spot VIX is up two percent I mean volatility kind of got crushed I mean the VIX was up, you know, like I said closer to six VIX futures were up You know up above two percent on the day and and went on this rally I mean things really just got crushed. In fact, we had a We've got a couple weekly double calendars one of our strategies on and we ended up just closing one out for a small profit But I mean even with volatility up the differential between the front and back week just Volatility is acting really weird. So what do I take from that? Well, there's nothing that I really take from You know, is the market gonna go down or up or anything like that? But just really interesting anytime you see some kind of inefficiencies like that not Inefficiencies some just some weird quirky things like that It always makes you pause and wonder if there is something bigger going on because a lot of times when we do see some Volatility coming it is preceded by some quirkiness in the way that volatility is reacting to the overall market So let's just go to a daily chart so this is the S&P and You know, I mean obviously you see it here on the daily bar here You just big sell-off and then rally back now the S&P is only down 15 it was down close to 50 at one point and You know Russell's still down Percent and a half but now the Nasdaq's up almost a percent dows down about a percent and a quarter So big turnaround in stocks, you know, I mean it was just a little blip on the S&P anyway So, you know, nothing, you know, no no nothing broken to the downside by any means Nasdaq Obviously just I mean it didn't even break yesterday's low and continued higher The Russell a little bit weaker, but still, you know Basically been training flat for the last couple weeks and with some violent swings back and forth But overall in a pretty narrow box there oil down a few percent gold down a little bit Bonds up a pretty decent amount and at a gas down So some decent swings in the market, you know one thing that I did notice When the overall markets were were were well down is that well a the Nasdaq was still up But and a lot of the big names. I mean your Amazons your your big tech companies They were all still positive and some were still some were trading near all-time highs And so, you know, I didn't really buy the the downside until the Nasdaq really started to sell off And then I thought well, we may have some follow-through But you cannot keep the Nasdaq down It is super strong and so it just rallied and I mean look at AMD up 7% Amazon up another three and a half percent. I mean Amazon what a crazy crazy move big stock making just gargantuan moves Hitting all-time highs again right now. It's it's 220. We've got about 40 minutes left in the cash market Bob up another percent and a half So tech just having a heyday if you look at Roku Roku up 11% I mean even when the even when the rest of the market was just coming down Roku was still up like 7% Now it's up 11% so just some crazy stuff shop shopify up 3% But on the other side, you've got these other stocks. I mean you got slumber J down 4% You've got in tap down 2% Morgan Stanley down over 2% So the banks getting hit to the downside, but tech just pushing this thing higher Let's see if there's any other big movers I want to bowing, you know down to three and a half percent So really just a mixed bag where tech is up a lot of other things down So kind of a crazy day of trading which when it comes to day trading is a good thing You want that volatility you want that two-sided action and then you know for the other positions It's it's fine as well But so that's what's going on in the markets.
