Equity: Global indices lower premarket with USA flat led by QQQ. MAGS are led by GOOGL with BRK buying and AAPL lagging with BRK selling. NVDA lower with Thiel selling adding to notable sellers ahead of this week’s earnings. TSLA lower with Thiel reducing position. AI related names DELL and HPE lower on MS downgrades. Bitcoin at 95k, a key volume support level and a pivot level. Liquidity is tight and expectations are that Fed will need to increase and bitcoin is sensitive to liquidity. NVDA earnings, Vix expiration and FOMC meeting minutes are Wed. Until then indices may chop around with SPY, QQQ 50sma the key support levels. USA indices have been declining since the European open with 0DTE potential support levels 6700, 6650, 6600 and resistance 6750-6775.

GOOGL
GOOGL is one of the strongest MAGS names, above the 20ema. Catalyst is BRK new buy and potentially new Gemini release . Option positioning is targeting 300, 305 upside target. Premarket high 296.25 and currently pulling back with 285 a high volume level which can be used as a line in the sand. GOOGL will trade with QQQ and hence likely NVDA earnings so caution ahead of NVDA report.
