Equity price action remains distinctly unstable.
Today saw sig’ gains to 6724, a downward swing to 6612, if recovering to 6671.

Clearly, such swings are mostly trade-headline related.

re: SPX hourly chart…
There is a H/S structure.
Bears could argue today saw a head test… with a reversal.
However… I’ve seen a number of H/S recently, and they’ve simply not been playing out. On this structure… confidence is low.

AMD settled +9.4% to $238.60, on higher vol of 107M, partly ‘inspired’ by Wedbush, outperform, 190>270.

I like the company and the products, but this is a clear case of unjustified AI-hysteria. Frankly, I’m beyond tired of it, but that doesn’t mean I’d short any of the semicons.

On a related note…

NuScale Power (SMR) broke a new hist’ high of $56.16 on record vol of 60M, as its part of the AI-hysteria, on the notion of data centers needing a great many onsite nuclear power plants.

This appeared on SMR’s YT channel this morning…

L/t bullish nuclear.
I just wish they were using Thorium, rather than Uranium.

KKR settled +4.6% to $125.98. Today’s gain is not the sort of thing the equity bears can argue is just a bounce, and is instead suggestive that KKR has a s/t floor from the $117s.

JPM saw an early low of $294.21, if recovering to settle -1.9% to $302.08. Today’s candle is spiky on the lower side from around the 50dma. Cyclically low.

Earnings were fine…
EPS $5.07 vs 4.84est. Rev’ y/y +8.8% to $47.1bn vs 45.4est.

Goldman saw an early low of $742.46, and recovering to settle -2.0% to $770.76. Today’s candle is a hollow red reversal from around the 50dma. Cyclically low.

Earnings were good…
EPS $12.25 vs 10.86est. Rev’ y/y +19.5% to $15.18bn vs 14.09est.

It turned out to be a rather typical ‘turnaround Tuesday’

… for what remains the world’s most entertaining, twisted, and rigged casino.

Monday saw a pretty strong bounce, the SPX settling +102pts (1.6%) to 6654. S/t momentum turned positive in the late afternoon.

The s/t cyclical setup favours the bulls for early Tuesday… with Q3 earnings due to begin with the financial giant of JPM.

The issue is whether the SPX can break AND hold >6700, or whether we see a stall… and (at least) re-test the Friday low of 6550.

Yours… watching the financials, not least KKR.

Across the years I’ve occasionally had people request a lifetime subscription payment. On further consideration, I’m willing to offer it.

T&Cs
One time only fee $700.
You will have access to my published work… forever. This includes my primary home of https://www.subscriber.tradingsunset.com, but also any future website.

No more subscription fees… ever… again.

The Lifetime subscription offer is limited to existing subscribers only.

No refunds. As an existing subscriber, you know the type of content I provide. You agree that you will not demand a refund for any or no reason, not least after the third year from purchase of ‘lifetime subscription’.

You accept I may take time time off, not least for vacation or sickness.

As at October 2025, I am 52 years of age. I don’t expect to ‘fully retire’ any earlier than 2050. So, if you really like my work, and think I’ll be posting for at least another three years, then the Lifetime subscription offer is something for you to consider!

How to purchase?

Existing subscribers… just contact me, and I’ll send you a payment link.

If you’re not an existing subscriber…

Pay for one month of access time.
Near/at the end of your month, I’ll contact you, and provide a payment link for the ‘Lifetime subscription’.

Q. Why not publicly post a payment link for ‘Lifetime Subscription’ ?

… because if a ‘newbie’ signs up, and then changes their mind, I lose around 5% in ‘payment processor’ fees via a refund. For a $23 subscription… it doesn’t much matter, but for $700, it does.
