The Expected Move Is Keeping Markets Here… But Volatility Lurks

A market like this, where stocks move a little higher and then gently drift lower, can be really deceptive.

There’s not much you can read into a market that’s down… a point. Financials are down a little, tech is all over the place and news-driven, energy is massively unchanged…

The advance/decline line is… slop-tastic.

It’d be very easy for a trader to see things that aren’t there right now. Very easy for a trader to get caught with their pants down.

The expected move has markets penned in a ridiculously tight range at the moment, but volatility is out there.

I’ll show you what I mean with a look at the SPX, which is just riding the upper edge of the expected move.
