Good morning, SqueezeFinders!

Yesterday, the market threw us an extra volatile trading session where the $QQQ tech index opened at 568.33, and within an hour and a half after the bell, we saw intraday lows below 559 (558.64) before a partial intraday recovery ensued. A mix of tariff policy uncertainty, weak economic data releases, and general tech sector are weaker (led by companies like $PLTR for example). Today's main directional sentiment determinants are the below listed economic data releases, and also earnings results from $WMT (premarket). Ideally, $QQQ can hold 540 on larger time-frame, and we can focus on rate decisions to guide us further. Bitcoin trades for ~$114k/coin, spot Gold trades for $3,380/oz, and spot Silver for $37.9/oz. Regardless of whether broader market sentiment, you can always locate relative strength by tapping/clicking the column headers to sort the live watchlist in descending order of whichever data metric is important to you.

Today's economic data releases are:
