Good morning, SqueezeFinders!
The big tariff decision that was supposed to come yesterday ended up being a bit of a stalemate, however, the U.S. Supreme Court issued three decisions but did not rule on the major case challenging the legality of President Trump's sweeping global tariffs (imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act). Multiple sources, including Reuters, Bloomberg, CNBC, and live updates from financial outlets, confirm the delay, with no new ruling date announced. The court could issue opinions as early as next week, but uncertainty continues for now. This keeps existing tariffs in place pending further action. The $QQQ tech index closed yesterday at 619.55 (-1.07%), which still technically leaves us above the 613 pivot by \~1% margin of safety before bulls oughta get more defensive. On the other hand, the bulls needs to reclaim the 627-629 long-term bullish uptrend continuation confirmation pivot zone before we can regain much confidence about directional sentiment. The main directional sentiment determinants today are a mix of big earnings reports in premarket ($TSM, $MS, $VS, and $BLK) followed by the below-detailed economic data releases. Bitcoin is rising strongly back up to \~$96.5k/coin, spot Gold is finding support near \~$4,600/oz, and spot Silver is stabilizing near \~$89/oz.
