Two main things to talk about today as Market continues to change its direction, let's go ahead and jump right into it. Let me go ahead and start sharing my screen. We got the overall NASDAQ Market Uh, it was selling off during this pre-market session. Two things being the main contributors to that.

So first, um, one of the things that we began to see 1 hour before the market open at 8:30 a.m. eastern time, we saw the market began to pull on back which fueled more selling pressure. Uh, the original um or the factor of that originally was uh, retail Sals So retail Sals came in higher than what was expected and trust me I Agree with you guys like why is something like retail sales coming in higher than what was expected meaning that you know retail sales are performing better. Why is that negative news for the market I Want to remind you that we're seeing this: Through The Eyes of the Federal Reserve and when retail sales comes in higher than what was expected, it's not supporting the case that the economy is slowing down and therefore the Federal Reserve can maybe justify a larger rate hike.

I'm just just explaining to you. Kind of like the thought process behind the Federal Reserve right? If things were slowing down, then the Federal Reserve you know, wouldn't have much to justify more rate. Hik. So this higher than or better than expected retail Sals just supports that very, uh, easily.

Um, it's not that they're going to, it just means it supports the case that if data continues to show that the Econom is not slowing down, then yes, there could be more of an edge on why the Federal Reserve can be more hawkish. Uh, the second thing that I want to talk about is Nvidia stock tumbles as the US Titan restriction on AI chips export to China Uh, so this is again President Joe Biden Last year unveiled restrictions on semiconductor X exports uh to China in attempt to slow down the Uh country's technological advances and keep most of the chip. Industries In the US the new rules announced Tuesday update those measures announced last year. So pretty much what followed up with you know today is that again Nidia stock which was one of the biggest drops that uh, we've seen seen for Big Tech today.

Uh, it's already recovered quite a bit. But if you're asking again, what has fueled some of that selling pressure, it was this: so stock was falling on Tuesday After the Biden Administration said that it would tighten its restriction on exports of AI chips uh to China. So if we look at Nvidia price right now from where it was from all of this selling pressure to this nice little recovery again you you just have to take into consideration uh Nvidia has a one .1 trillion market cap. So yes it does influence overall markets right? It influences NASDAQ It influences then other all other Big Tech And because of that influence and because of this amount of you know selling pressure, it brings the rest of the market down with it.

But obviously since then it's been showing steady signs of recovery and we'll see I Also want to remind you: uh, the past couple of days have been very very choppy. Uh, on the 30 minute time frame, it's very easy to see right? today's Tuesday this was Monday's performance and this was Fridays I Don't know if you guys could see it, but it's very easy to see the high levels, the low levels, the high levels, the low levels, and the high levels. High levels for QQQ tends to be right around 370, right? The low levels support range tends to be right around 16, uh, 364 to 365. Okay, just making you aware of it, right? So you understand the low points, the high points, the low points, the high points.

So uh, as of right now, just waiting to see if we continue to show signs of progress. If not, then I'm going to start setting up for a potential trade on Sqq. But again, if you're part of our Lpp team, I'll keep you up to date with that. So I appreciate your time, Hope that we're in a thumbs up.

Uh, we do have a handful of economic reports that are going to be released tomorrow. uh from housing starts, building permits, and um, the Fed's beige book. So again, just something to take into consideration of what can influence the market a little bit more tomorrow. So also Tesla will be reporting earnings tomorrow.
