July 31 2018 Pro Pre Market Prep



" Limit your size in any position so that fear does not become the prevailing instinct guiding your judgment." Joe Vidich

Good morning
The caution flags remain out as the markets continue to show signs of weakness. Tech is leading the way as earnings misses and concerns of inflated valuations and slowing growth weigh on the sector. AAPL and TSLA both report this week and could add more fuel to that fire if their earnings come in weak. The IWM (small caps) broke and closed below the 50 day and could be approaching potential price support in 159-162 area. Equities in premarket are up slightly

The FOMC meeting starts today with the statement delivered tomorrow. Gold, silver and the miners which have been beaten up pretty hard could show signs of life ahead of the announcement but that may be short lived so be careful if you are trying to play that space. Gold is currently lower in pre market.

TZA TVIX UVXY could still be in play if market give us a green to red
