Tim Knight Says This Quiet Market Is the Calm Before a Wild Week

Tim Knight sets the scene: it's like ten minutes before the fireworks show, everyone's amped up and nothing's happening yet. A tidal wave of earnings and the Fed are hours away, so the tape drifts, and what astonishes him is the VIX showing near zero fear despite the risk. His read is bearish: the failure of the trend lines is ubiquitous, nearly every chart has broken its uptrend, setting up a move lower. The Nasdaq clings to one line the way SpaceX clings to 150. 📊 tastylive: https://www.tastylive.com/ 📰 Get Tom's pre-market analysis every morning: https://www.tastylive.com/newsletters 📘 FREE Options Strategy Guide: https://tinyurl.com/bp9ms763 📱 Follow tastylive on X: https://x.com/tastyliveshow Chapters 00:00 Ten minutes before the fireworks 00:40 A tidal wave of earnings and the Fed 01:10 The clocks roll back, an aside 02:40 Chart time, a little fade 03:20 A possible top on the S&P futures 03:50 The trend-line failure is ubiquitous 04:30 Zero fear in the VIX astonishes him 05:10 Set up for a wild week 05:40 The Nasdaq clings to one line 06:20 Working broadly lower #tastylive #timknight #tradingcharts #vix #earnings #fomc #trendline #complacency #technicalanalysis #stockmarket tastylive is a real financial network, producing hours of live programming every day.
