Editor's Note

0DTE Analyst, Option Pit

SMH trying to recover about half its loss from yesterday. Keep an eye on that one. Needs to close yesterday's gap to be a true rally taking it back to $500. S&P 500 futures trading around the 200 day moving average here and need to decide to hold or take that next leg lower (most likely). Could be a quiet, take a breather kind of day.
