\"\"<\/p>\n

Markets continue to march higher on the back of tech earnings.<\/p>\n

And that’s about it– we don’t want to overthink this too much. Unless the Nasdaq 100 breaks support or the S&P loses 3200, then we must assume the trend will continue. Market vol continues to decrease, which makes a VIX of 25 VERY expensive. When so many are overhedged with expensive protection, it becomes very difficult for the market to rollover.<\/p>\n

Trade #1: CMI<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Looking for a pull into key pivot support and a rising 20 day moving average.<\/p>\n
