📦 Status: Signals Align into Weekly Close – Monday May Open With Intent
As Titan’s prepare for the new week, today’s snapshot offers strong directional clues following an event-heavy trading cycle. Here’s what stands out from the data as we gear into the Monday open:
🔍 Major Indices Overview
SPX500USD (S&P 500): Closed near 6,176 with modest strength (+0.39%), supported by volume stabilisation and fading volatility.
NAS100USD (Nasdaq 100): Finished at 22,551, creeping higher (+0.30%), but tech internals looked mixed with heavyweights diverging.
Dow Jones (DJI): Outperformed at +1.00%, often a sign of rotation into value or defensives.
VIX & VXZ1: Both retreated, with VIX at 16.33 (-1.63%) and front-end futures easing, confirming short-term risk appetite is improving.
📉 Key Market Internals
Put/Call Ratio: QQQ ratio spiked to 1.20, showing hedging bias remains elevated in tech.
SPY Short Volume: Rose sharply, up +4.7M shares, hinting at bearish positioning beneath the calm surface.
NVDA/MSFT/GOOGL: Mixed MAG7 performance—GOOGL +2.88% led the charge, while TSLA (-0.66%) and SMCI (-3.43%) lagged hard.
🌍 Commodities & Currency Watch
Gold (XAUUSD): Down -1.61% to 3,274, pressured by rising real yields and macro repositioning.
Crude Oil (WTI): Flat to slightly red at $66.00, holding within range. Watch for reaction to upcoming inventory data and OPEC updates.
BTCUSD: Trading above $107.5K, stabilising after minor dips, volume not confirming breakout yet.
DXY (US Dollar Index): Soft at 97.25, losing -0.10%, supporting metals/commodities near-term.
FX majors: EUR/USD and GBP/USD holding gains, JPY weaker—signalling light risk-on globally.
🔭 Sector Rotations & Themes
XLY (Consumer Discretionary): +1.67% – shows broad appetite for growth/retail.
XLK (Tech): Slightly negative – a pause or pre-positioning before earnings cycle.
Energy (XLE): Lagging (-0.52%), likely on crude indecision.
🧠 Titan Takeaways for Monday
Bias: Constructive to cautiously bullish tone with volatility declining.
Scalpers: SPX/NAS setups into Monday open may offer breakout retests or continuation into London session momentum.
Intraday/Swing: Gold and BTC remain key for reversals or continuation off their weekly pivots.
Position Traders: Watch for confirmation of weekly strength in Dow/SPX – and whether VIX holds below 16.
Watch: DXY breakdown continuation and 10Y yield behaviour as we approach key macro data mid-week.
