SP500 Inflection

First, this was a strong week with a rally aided by $META ( ▲ 5.34% ) and $MSFT ( ▲ 8.96% ) earnings after a GDP report that dragged the market lower. We talked about this in Issue 17 of this weeks report mentioning that $AMD ( ▲ 0.63% ) and $NVDA ( ▲ 4.23% ) could benefit on any rally and they did on Thursday.
Gold was lower this week as well and we highlighted the sell signal at the start of April and reiterated the short again in this weeks LongVol Report - the image below was posted on our X account.

$NTR ( ▲ 0.28% ) - was re-added to the Swing Monitor this week with new technical notes with a new 2025 high and a daily chart measured move completing at $60.

A decent move so far this week.
DeltaOne Highlights: some highlights for those in our DeltaOne group this week with the some nice plays on $MSTR ( ▲ 1.9% ) and $TSLA ( ▲ 0.37% ) with some directional trades.

JP Morgan Sales & Trading Note This Week
✅ Conclusion:
JP Morgans notes this weeks matched ours in the Report and we still see this as a tactical market rally aided by Mag 7 earnings which always drive the markets, in both directions. We still think there is light room higher on the broad-markets here but are bearish the economy and some other ideas which we’ll cover this week.
