There is 1 day before the September options expire, 29 the October and 64 the November.
On the jump, market stats, econ reports, and the trading calendar . . .
Stats
Blue chip stocks (SPY) closed the latest regular session up 1.1% from the prior close. During the day SPY traversed 0.7% in a net move up of 0.1%.
The day's extremes: Open $112.73, high $113.05, low $112.36, close $113.05.
The next DeMark pivots are $112.70-$113.47.
In total, 2.7 billion shares were traded on the three major U.S. stock exchanges.
Econ reports:
The consumer price index will be released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern. Often a market mover. Also, consumer sentiment is out at 9:55 a.m., and it's a Quadruple Witching Day in the markets, when stock index futures, stock index options, stock options and single stock futures all expire. This often produces volatility.
Trading Calendar:
By my rules, at this point in the cycle I can trade October covered calls, iron condors, and diagonal, butterfly, calendar and vertical spreads. Also, November straddles and single calls or puts. Shares, of course, are good anytime.
Good trading!
