$CAT down ~12% premarket. That SHOULD be a 400+ pt decline for $DJIA futures? @SullyCNBC @TripleDTrader @JoeSquawk (I've said for two years that the broad measures are broken thanks to 0DTE options. It's a delta/gamma trade, not an index.)
Every now and then I write about #economics and #monetary policy -- both of which clear rooms at cocktail parties, much like #marketstructure: modernir.com/wheelbarrows/
Always fun! To me, two keys here: We've been told hedge funds were short the market. They were not. At lest yet. Broad Sentiment is peaked and hot, and nobody knows it. Don't be caught out.
Is the stock market being propped up by options hedging?
Market Structure Edge founder Tim Quast joined the PreMarket Prep team to explain why volatility is surging under the surface, what short volume reveals about real demand, and how he’s positioning ahead of big tech earnings. Check it out.

You think there's a chance a #risk management system managing $25T of assets might foster lockstep behavior? Like moving to #healthcare? modernir.com/the-genie/
#inflation data from @MinneapolisFed 1800-1900: -55%. Everything became less expensive. Proof that as Kevin Warsh says, inflation is a CHOICE. Inflation 1913-2026: +3.3% annually, total 371%. Cause: @federalreserve. Too much month at the end of the money. @GunjanJS
Whether #inflation data or #options resets for October are reasons for the market's gurgling today, the market behaves like an arbitrage because #stocks are principally collateral for #ETFs. And next, #tokens. modernir.com/taking-a-toll/

Let's talk stocks and 24-hr trading and the AI trade -- and more! See you soon: youtube.com/live/2dYzVry7FiQ
30D Demand/Supply for #software vs #semiconductors. Software is stronger but declining, and has higher Supply (over 53% short volume). Semi Demand stalled below 5.0 and Supply (45.7%) shows an upturn. It's not bad -- but they COULD move the same direction.
The simplest explanation for market weakness is Demand has dropped below 5.0 for the first time since May. That's also the second-longest stretch since 2017 for Demand at 5.0 or better. In May, Supply fell, stocks rose -- and then plunged in early June.
Investors, it's important to know how LULD works. Don't be lulled! modernir.com/smooth-operator…
