0DTE Analyst, Option Pit

Crude is down over 3% this morning with the 30 year yield topping out and reversing. The market is also liking the CPI number, so far. I am a bit suspicious of this rally. Watch the opening to hold and trade higher. Otherwise it will be a sideways day and we trade lower on Monday.
