Stocks are off to a strong start this week as investors shake off Friday's volatility. Kevin Green notes that Monday's action was technical in nature, with the S&P 500 (SPX) recapturing its 20-day moving average. Later, KG highlights Palantir (PLTR) earnings and its strong earnings beat as the company topped $1B in quarterly revenue for the first time. Meanwhile, Pfizer (PFE) also topped expectations but KG discusses reasons why it could be a difficult road ahead for investors.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Kevin Green says trends continue to lean bullish when it comes to the SPX, with 60% of stocks opening in the green. However, any reversal of recent action can put that trend at risk. On the chip trade, Kevin highlights the 3-year trend and highlights the key role AMD Inc. (AMD) will play in the group's all-time high push. He also notes utilities like Constellation Energy (CEG) outperforming tech, which could be bullish for rate cuts but warns investors won't want to see that price action for long.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In this week's episode, we cover the major economic reports and catalysts driving the markets and what caused the current break in the uptrend.

In this special episode of The Option Block, Henry "The FlowMaster" Schwartz discuss the recent market selloff and its impact on various sectors. He delves into factors such as rough earnings moves by Amazon and Coinbase, as well as the VIX index behavior, including a detailed analysis from a newly published white paper on VIX decomposition. Specific unusual trading activities in Bristol Myers and Momentum Holdings are also highlighted. The episode provides listeners with an in-depth look at the market dynamics, helping traders make more educated moves. The discussion includes advice on using SPX and mini S&P 500 options for better portfolio management. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 02:37 Market Overview and Recent Developments 03:21 In-Depth Analysis of VIX and Market Movements 06:33 Odd Block Trades and Insights 09:27 Conclusion and Final Thoughts  

Kevin Green is back on Morning Movers and he's looking back before looking ahead. KG says last week's selling action was partially driven by jobs data but also attributes it to mechanical factors such as low realized volatility and a "structural pullback" in the marker. He notes that the VIX has been trading in a tight range, which could lead to a re-rating of volatility and create opportunities for intraday swing traders. He expects the $6200-$6210 level on the S&P 500 (SPX) to hold as a key support and sees $6300 as resistance to the upside.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Looking for a rebound from Friday's selling action, Kevin Green is watching the $6300 level on the S&P 500 (SPX) as a possible upside resistance in today's trading. He says the 20-day moving average is another key technical hurdle for any rally. Looking at volatility, KG compares the VIX Spread to S&P 500 futures mapping out possible correlation patterns taking shape. KG adds a Russia sanctions watch list to his radar as geopolitical risks mount.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

After blowing through the 6300 "call wall" this morning, Kevin Green is looking at 6325/6330 to the highs headed into Monday's close. He saw "risk reversal" activity in today's options flows and says tomorrow's economic data will be critical to watch. KG looks at the S&P 500 (SPX) on a long-term 20-year monthly chart to visualize potential upside still ahead for the markets. With earnings season in focus, he adds a comparative chart study of the SPX with stocks trading above their 50-day simple moving average as another way to gauge current market strength.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

UnitedHealth (UNH) shares have plummeted to the downside in a strong downtrend thus far in 2025. Tom White looks at the healthcare company and discusses its weight on the Dow Jones Industrial Avg. ($DJI), potentially hampering the index from hitting all-time highs alongside the S&P 500 (SPX). Tom calls the steep pullback a "falling knife" and illustrates a duration-based example options trade. He composes a call vertical with a bullish tilt using October expiry strikes to give the trade time.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

He points out that August historically has shown weakness, but adds that the July jobs report is likely weighing on the minds of the Fed.

Alex Coffey says the start of Thursday's trading is an "interesting start" as both the S&P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq-100 (NDX) reach new all-time highs. He expands on his initial thought saying strength in Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META) are lifting the indices based off of market cap size. He says they "flipped the script" on earnings season comparing the responses of Alphabet (GOOGL) and Netflix (NFLX).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-...Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-...Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/19192...Watch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplu...Watch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-net...Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META) surged to all-time highs lifting the Nasdaq-100 (NDX) and the S&P 500 (SPX) to new marks as well. However, the jubilation was short-lived as stocks tumbled into the close and the SPX added to its 3-day losing streak. After hours, Amazon (AMZN) and Apple (AAPL) earnings painted a mixed picture for the Mag 7 group. Marley Kayden dives into Thursday's top stories.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Mastercard (MA) earnings top estimates and Sam Vadas says it reveals a "stronger consumer." She adds that the credit card company's raised guidance could also signal Visa (V) guidance coming in "more conservative." Then, Sam switches gears and examines the leap higher for Carvana (CVNA) as shares jumped more than 20% at the open. Also on the move: EBAY. The e-commerce name leads the S&P 500 (SPX) in early action following a beat on earnings and guidance.

There will be "no time to catch our breath" with Wednesday's FOMC interest rate decision and earnings from Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta Platforms (META), says Alex Coffey. The SPX, however, looks a little more sleepy. Alex shows how the index steadily hits "all-time high after all-time high" despite realized volatility being at "extremely low" levels.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Kevin Horner covers the S&P 500, Nike (NKE), and D.R. Horton (DHI) for Technical Tuesday. He thinks a pullback to the 20-day moving average for the SPX would be reasonable soon, warning traders not to be complacent. On NKE, Kevin points to “notable” levels as the stock has made several breakthroughs on its rebound. Lastly, he sees a “new floor” at the 200-day moving average for DHI and thinks there is a short-term trend upwards.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

She “loves the IBM story” this year and says, “it's AI's world, we're just living in it.” She's looking at the “vanity trade”, citing a “megatrend” stemming from weight loss drugs made by the likes of Eli Lilly (LLY) and benefitting Ulta Beauty (ULTA), Bumble (BMBL) and more. “You're going to see a tremendous change in what the consumer market looks like.”======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Lockheed Martin (LMT) became the worst performer on the SPX after it posted over $1.6 billion in pre-tax losses in earnings. Despite the setback, Frances Stacy says shares are "on sale."

Kevin Horner walks through his Technical Tuesday charts. On the SPX, which closed at records yesterday, he highlights the 10-day moving average: “things are getting a little more momentum-based.” The chart of Guidewire (GWRE) shows a recent pullback from the top of a linear regression channel. Oklo (OKLO) is a “trickier one” as it rallied into resistance and fell off, with support around the 50-day moving average.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Microsoft (MSFT) closed flat despite its SharePoint service getting targeted by hackers over the weekend.

Michael Purves sees weakening of fundamentals and an unclear tariff picture leading to sideways trading action throughout the summer months. He urges investors to watch for "yellow light" with the SPX and NDX at record highs, which in the past gave way to market sell-offs. That said, he sees the Mag 7, minus Tesla (TSLA), continuing to lead markets higher once consolidation ends.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Cyber attacks on Microsoft's (MSFT) SharePoint platform are "not a shocking surprise" to shareholders, says Jed Ellerbroek. He believes the muted reaction in the stock is due to anticipation for the company's earnings. Jed expects to see "aggressive" capex spend from Microsoft and other Big Tech firms as earnings season heats up. He adds that the SPX will "chug along" even as tariff uncertainty lingers. On the Fed, Jed makes the case for zero interest rate cuts until 2026.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

On my mind is correlation. There are plenty of financial market correlations, both implied and realized. In equities, we talk a good deal about the correlation implied by the relationship between S&P 500 index implied vol and the implied vol on the stocks within the index. That's been low, to put it mildly. How about the correlation between the dollar and SPX? A signature aspect of the recent risk event was a weaker dollar, even as rates rose and the VIX rose while the SPX swooned.A correlation that gets little attention is that between an asset and its implied volatility. We know that - with only rare exceptions, when the SPX rises, the VIX falls. The correlation runs deep, about negative 80% or so. But for select other assets - and this is the main point of my little talk here - the correlation between the price and the implied volatility - is often actually positive. We call them SUVU, “stock up, vol up” assets. SUVU is that compelling financial trait of an asset that leads to substantial option trading volume as well as significant "derivative" ETF assets under management.Over the course of 20 minutes, I walk through how the option market pricing consequences of these assets with unique return distributions. I hope you enjoy the discussion and find it useful.

While James sees foreign markets outperforming the U.S., he expects the SPX to hit 6,800 by year's end.
