Markets:

S&P 500 futures rose Tuesday after a record-setting session for the benchmark index, while traders awaited the beginning of the latest Federal Reserve meeting.

Oracle shares jumped nearly 5% after CBS News reported, citing sources, that the company is among a consortium of firms that would enable social media platform TikTok to keep operating in the U.S.

The S&P 500 closed above 6,600 for the first time on Monday, while the Nasdaq Composite also raced to an all-time high.

Investors appeared pleased with President Donald Trump’s positive description of trade talks with China. Several big technology stocks provided upside for the market, led by jumps of more than 4% and 3% in Alphabet and Tesla, respectively.

Traders are gearing up for the Fed’s interest rate meeting, set to begin Tuesday, with a decision expected Wednesday. Fed funds futures pricing in a 100% likelihood of at least a quarter-point rate cut, per CME’s FedWatch tool. Yet traders will still closely monitor Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s subsequent press conference for any clues on the future of monetary policy.

Portfolio:

We enter todays session holding setups in ORBS, CIFR, OPEN, and ONDS.  

The hated rally continues and the pain trade is higher!  Obviously their will be bumps in the road, but our year end move is in full play and believe Q4 will provide an even greater opportunity than what we currently have in play right now.   

We still are seeing massive upside call lots being placed across a number of names.  Flow has been so impressive and remember what we stated months ago; the chase for performance has yet to begin.  That cycle is still come and will come as hede fund returns are lagging.

Individually we continue to see a large number of names with excellent setups.  NVDA for example is super coiled once again.  TSLA looks to be on a runway to 500 with ease.  CAT, UBER, PLTR, META, other examples printing excellent charts here.  A number of names across different sectors just shows how healthy this move still is.  

The wild card is FOMC tomorrow.  We still expect a bit of a roller coaster into / and after it.  Then the move proceeds.  

Be ready today.  Stay patient.
