0DTE Analyst, Option Pit

We still have CPI to be reported but so far the market is down slightly after retesting our old support which is now new resistance and honoring rolling lower. That is a good level of resistance. Watch yesterday's lows as we break down below there, I think we can quickly trade down to $7848.50. If they like the number we need to break out above $7713.75 to get a real rally going.
