0DTE Analyst, Option Pit

Higher bond yields are driving us lower this morning. The futures have stopped at our levels and revisited the median line from below as the high of the day so far. We are trading back below the median line and looking lower once we breach $7700. Our support below there will be the 50 day moving average.
