S&P breadth was weak Wed as MAG7 dominated capital flows. Premarket MAG7 is
being led by AMZN META TSLA with AMZN and META making outsized moves absent
obvious news. Earnings: CRM lower may weigh on cloud names; outsized
moves positive: CIEN, AEO,CRDO negative CRM FIG SAIC are candidates for
continuation or reversion. Crypto lower has historically been a leading
risk-off signal and weighs on the related names like SBET, BMNR, MARA. Gold and
silver pulling back premarket. Large call buying Wed in gold calls with rising
IV is potentially signaling either a top or start of a blow-off top. AVGO
earnings after the close will be significant for semis in general which likely
move in sympathy. SPX 0DTE levels are 6475, 6450 defined by a large iron condor
with bullish above the top and bearish below with 6400 the more important pivot
level. With NFP Fri, frequently see IV rise into the close.

AVGO
AVGO reports earnings after the close and will impact semi, AI sectors and Nasi in general. Expected move +/- 18 into Fri expiration. AVGO has moved outsized the expected move 6/11 prior reports. Skew indicates that traders are hedging into the print, which can provide a larger move on a positive report.
