    News setup

    The day will hinge on what investors hear from earnings and big data releases. News about inflation, interest rates, and policy can move markets. Watch for any surprises in company results, guidance, or macro numbers. The market is in a cautious mood, but the trend seen in SPY suggests some upward bias remains intact.

    Risk lens

    Volatility is above recent calm levels. That can mean bigger intraday swings. Stocks currently below the 200-day line may stay pressured if selling resumes. Those above the 200-day line could hold up, but they can still move with new news. Stay aware of the timing of any notable data or earnings news.
