Saturday Trades Thursday Update 7/17/2025

Markets Mixed and consolidating

Markets continue to churn with a lean to the upside. Yesterday we saw a big selloff on the Powell news but markets came back. Last night markets were lower and again have come back.

The ranges are very tight and a much bigger move is coming. Which way, when and how much to be determined. We have some new trades from yesterday that are good to put on today
