Who's right? We wait and see what the daily flow looks like. Yesterday's bearish flows repeated, so the downside case still has legs.
savage-notes Morning Market Notes 04-22-26 Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ I'm calling for the beginning of a ~3% correction from the highs. Yesterday we saw the most bearish flows in a while hitting 0DTHERO notional charts, and we're here for it. If it doesn't start today, tomorrow and into

savage-notes Morning Market Notes 04-20-26 Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ Sunday night geopolitical tension dips get bought. It's the current narrative of this market. Current, not permanent.

savage-notes Morning Market Notes 04-17-26 Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ OPEX time. The two largest strikes on the board — 7000 and 7050 SPX — are most likely the range we'll be in throughout the session.

Impressive. 7000 SPX is the big boy level for the OPEX tomorrow. So barring any new geopolitical disaster, we should pin around this area.
savage-notes Morning Market Notes 04-15-26 Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ We're 40-ish points from ATH (lol). Today the VIX expires and we have OPEX coming on Friday. Day by day for now, as we don't expect much more upside from here. Let's have a sesh. The new 0DTHERO.

savage-notes Morning Market Notes 04-13-26 Market Calendar $SPX & $QQQ Mixed signals in the flow last Friday — positive flows in SPY and very bearish ones in the Mag7 and S&P equities.
