Good day!
Inflation is ticking down which is good for equities and further FED cuts.

High volatility..
Potential Sell entry if the 2nd retest will be bearish. I missed the 1st one!

The coming is a Third Friday of the month, monthly options expiry is often accompanied by higher Volatility few days before that Fri, like today, It pays to be aware of that.
Over many years I monitor PA in proximity to these Fridays.
Next week starts earning season.

Somehow my platform does not provide more historic data, but nevertheless some years back provide a limited perspective.

Good day!
I'm sharing my mentor's view for the ST perspective:
"Very bullish defence and energy;
Less bullish metals Gold and Silver as they are overextended;
Slighlthy bullish EURUSD;
Neutral OIL and Cryptos BTC;
ST bullish S&P and NQ , bearish in the MT"
The rationale for ST bullish in Indices, the free money.

Both Asian and European sessions were bullish.
Price completely erased yesterday bearish close!
Price has made HH-LL. So we should expect:
1- LH and a new LL; OR
2- LH followed by HL and a new HH; OR
3- a new HH.
Hence there is no need to jump in until clearer direction; OR you may Sell with a STP just above the last HH. I'm going to Sell.
(keep in mind the Initial wave is very slow with a plenty of back and forth).

My entry was little bit higher!
So I missed it. Not chasing it.

No point to chase the market.

Monthly options puts v calls - market ingenuity to make sure both perform, one at a time
Straddle spread optimised! hedging (intended) losses are optimised - very clever and it happens in proximity of these third Fridays

Fire works reserved for tomorrow?

Based on my experience, when the Asian and London sessions move strongly in one direction, as they did today with a 500-point move, the New York session often becomes choppy. For this reason, I decided to take a more cautious approach today and didnt trade.

Good Friday!
Yesterday candle was inside the day before; so irrelevant.
Both Asian and European sessions behaved exactly as yesterday; both were bullish.
As mentioned by @2be, today is OPEX day. Rebalancing and repositioning with high volatility is expected.
Noise from WH might circuit the day.
My plan is only Sell High. So I may have the same planned position as yesterday. GL!
