How To Trade The Market Amid Tariff Volatility: A Technical Perspective

Good Morning Traders! In today’s Market Clubhouse Morning Memo, we will discuss SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META, and TSLA.

Our proprietary formula, exclusive to Market Clubhouse, dictates these price levels. This dynamic equation takes into account price, volume, and options flow. These levels are updated every day and shared with all Clubhouse Members, prior to the opening of the market.

We recommend closely monitoring these stocks, and be prepared to leverage potential breakouts or reversals. As always, stay alert and ready to adjust your tactics based on the market’s pulse to optimize your trading gains. Now, let’s dive into the stock analysis:

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)

Bulls need SPY to sustain strength around the pivotal 515.68 mark early in the session. Successfully clearing 518.04 sets the stage for a push toward 519.71. A strong consolidation at 519.71 may trigger a run-up to 521.85. With continued bullish sentiment, the high-end target for the session would reach up to 523.76.

Should SPY slip below 515.68, bears could intensify selling pressure toward 513.76. If this support fails to hold, anticipate a deeper probe down to 512.26. Continued bearish dominance might further depress the price toward the firm support at 510.95. In an aggressive downside move, expect sellers to press for a low of 508.83.

Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ)

Buyers in QQQ must firmly maintain support at 433.64 to establish momentum higher toward 435.88. Persistent strength at this level could elevate the auction further to test 437.47. A sustained rally might then target the 440.00 area, with the ultimate bullish destination today at 441.56.

If buyers fail to protect 433.64, bearish sentiment could swiftly take hold, targeting a decline to 431.82. Continued downside pressure may expose 430.16. Should selling become pronounced, bears would next challenge the 428.50 support, with the potential to push the auction down further toward the bearish low target of 426.64.

Apple Inc. ( AAPL)

Apple buyers must demonstrate support at 184.09 to sustain upward momentum today. Success here opens the path toward a test of resistance at 184.96. Strong buying at this level could facilitate further bullish activity, targeting the area of 186.35, ultimately eyeing the session's bullish peak near 187.50.

If Apple weakens below the 184.09 support, sellers will likely press toward 182.96 initially. Sustained selling pressure below this mark could lead to deeper losses at 181.25, and further declines may bring the next critical support at 180.60 into focus. Under severe selling pressure, anticipate a bearish target down at 179.36.

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)

Bulls in Microsoft will want price action firmly maintained above 359.64 early to encourage upward moves toward 363.81. Consolidation at 363.81 could energize further bullish sentiment, aiming for a continuation upward to 366.98. With substantial buying, Microsoft’s upside potential today stretches toward the bullish high mark at 370.10.

A breakdown under 359.64 may spur bears into action, targeting an initial decline toward 356.82. Should bearish momentum persist, anticipate sellers pressing prices down further to 352.26. If selling pressure remains strong, further downside toward 347.85, today’s key bearish target, becomes increasingly likely, with interim support at 342.88 under heavy selling.

NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)

NVIDIA bulls must firmly reclaim the area above 101.02 and drive price action higher toward initial resistance at 103.96. Establishing firm buying here could stimulate a bullish run-up to the next significant resistance at 105.23. Continued buying may extend the rally toward 106.30, with the highest bullish ambition today set at 107.51.

If NVIDIA falters and loses grip of 101.02, bears will likely initiate selling pressure toward 99.16. A breakdown at this level could accelerate the decline toward 97.20, with sustained weakness bringing the critical support at 95.81 into play. Persistent bearish pressure could lead to today’s low-end target down at 94.05.

Alphabet Inc Class A (GOOGL)

Alphabet buyers need to demonstrate strength at 150.41, establishing this as reliable support before targeting a push toward 151.24. A bullish continuation through this resistance could trigger additional momentum, setting sights firmly on the session's bullish high target at 152.27.

On failure to uphold 150.41, sellers could quickly capitalize, pressing Alphabet downward to test support at 148.95. Should selling accelerate through this point, bears will likely test 147.68 next. Strong bearish momentum could then drive prices even lower, potentially reaching the session’s bearish bottom target of 146.89.

Meta Platforms Inc (META)

Meta's bullish scenario requires stable support above 531.03 early, which could encourage buyers to aim higher toward 537.68. A robust bullish stance at this resistance could further propel the price action upward to 548.44. With continued buying enthusiasm, the day’s bullish trajectory could extend as high as 553.05.

However, failing support at 531.03 could invite bearish momentum, causing prices to initially retreat toward 526.29. Continued selling activity below this support may lead to further declines, targeting the area of 520.27. Should selling intensify, expect bears to aim lower at the session's bearish objective of 512.85.

Tesla Inc. (TSLA)

Tesla bulls will want immediate strength at 239.92, setting the stage for an advance to resistance at 243.98. Continued bullish activity could quickly extend the auction upward to test the key resistance at 246.16. If bullish sentiment persists throughout the market, Tesla could test further resistance around 250.25, potentially rallying as high as the bullish target of 254.28.

A breach below support at 239.92 may ignite selling pressure, driving Tesla initially toward the 235.74 mark. Persistent downside momentum might deepen declines toward the critical support at 230.65. If sellers decisively break below this support, the bearish momentum could accelerate toward today’s low bear target of 226.53.

Final Word: 

Today's economic calendar is relatively quiet, with only the Treasury’s 3-Year Note Auction scheduled at 1PM ET. Traders, however, will remain sensitive and highly reactive to ongoing trade disputes and any unexpected tariff-related news.

Given the elevated market sensitivity, expect heightened intraday volatility, with the potential for sharp and swift price swings upon new headlines. Exercise caution, keep your risk controls tight, and remain alert to sudden shifts in market sentiment. Good luck and stay disciplined!
