| | | | Hey there, trader –
It’s Juneteenth, and the U.S. stock market is officially closed today. That means no ringing bells, no CNBC tickers, and—hopefully—a little time to breathe. But don’t let the quiet fool you.
Because by tomorrow morning, we could wake up to a very different market.
Between rising tensions overseas, growing volatility in global futures, and some key setups forming on the charts, you’ll want to use today to prepare—not tune out.
So grab your favorite drink ☕, kick your feet up, and let’s walk through what’s happening, what to expect tomorrow, and how to stay one step ahead.
First Things First… Markets Are Closed Today
Today is Juneteenth, a U.S. federal holiday, which means all major U.S. stock exchanges are closed. That includes the NYSE and Nasdaq. Equity options? Closed. No SPY trades to make today.But futures? They’re open for business.
And that brings us to…
🔥 September S&P Futures Are on the Move – Here's What You Need to Know
While most folks are grilling burgers and enjoying the sunshine, savvy traders are watching the September S&P 500 futures contract (ESU25). That’s the new active contract—and it's currently trading around 5982.
That’s knocking on the door of all-time highs… but it’s not all smooth sailing.
We’ve seen resistance up near 6000, and support trying to hold around 5935–5950. So for tomorrow, the key is whether we hold above 5950 and push through 6000, or break down and see a pullback toward 5900 or even lower.
For those of you trading SPY, those levels translate roughly to SPY 532–535 resistance, and 528–530 support. Keep those zones in mind when the market reopens.
📰 Geopolitical Tension Could Rock the Open Tomorrow
Now let’s talk about the elephant in the room…
Iran and Israel are back in the headlines. The situation is tense, and U.S. involvement—while still murky—has the potential to escalate quickly. Traders don’t need a war to break out to move the markets. Even the perception of growing instability is enough to spark volatility.
If news breaks overnight or early tomorrow, you can expect:
🛢️ Crude to spike → Watch $USO and energy stocks like $XOM and $SLB
💣 Defense stocks to rally → Think $LMT, $NOC, and $RTX
✈️ Travel and consumer names to get hit → $DAL, $AAL, and $CCL may face pressure
💰 Gold and bonds to catch a bid → $GLD and $TLT often shine when fear creeps in
⚠️ What to Watch Tomorrow at the Open
If the world stays relatively calm, tomorrow could be a strong continuation day. But if headlines heat up, we might see a sharp rotation.
Here’s your short list to prep for the open:
SPY 535 → Key breakout level. A move above this could kick off momentum buying.
SPY 530 → Minor support. Below this, things get slippery.
VIX → Still suppressed. If it pops back above 14, watch for volatility to return fast.
Tech → The $SMH and $NVDA crowd could finally take a breath. Keep an eye for signs of rotation into value/defensive.
🎯 What to Do With Today’s Quiet? Learn. Prepare. Sharpen the Blade.
While markets are calm, this is your chance to regroup.
And one of the best things you can do?
