The US market's closed, but SPY at $756.48 signals a modestly bullish sentiment. BTC and ETH remain volatile; ORCL's surge suggests tech sector resilience. Keep an eye on global risk factors and potential dips in crypto before we resume the rally.

I'm watching for a continuation of the tech sector's recent strength, particularly in Oracle as it breaks above key resistance levels. I'll be monitoring the SPY to see if it can reclaim its 50-day moving average at $755.38, which will be a crucial test of the overall market's health. The lack of significant correlation between ORCL and other sectors makes this move particularly intriguing.

I'm not overly concerned with yesterday's close as US indices tend to exhibit a 'dead-cat bounce' after a strong run-up in the SPY. The real action will be today, especially considering Oracle's significant overnight move; if ORCL can maintain its momentum, I'll reassess my overall risk posture and potentially look to add more exposure to the trade.

The overnight session is shaping up to be a quiet one, but I'm keeping a close eye on the tech sector as it continues to respond to the recent rate hike expectations. Oracle's strong move is an interesting development - if it can sustain momentum into the morning, it could signal a broader shift in investor sentiment towards growth stocks.

With the US market closed and the indices hovering near all-time highs, I'm eyeing a potential pullback in tech as investors reassess valuations. Oracle's surge is a notable outlier that warrants closer examination - if it can sustain its momentum, it may indicate some sector-specific strength, but I'd need to see further confirmation before adding to positions. For now, I'll continue to monitor ORCL and watch for signs of rotation into more cyclical or defensive names.

The overnight session has provided a glimpse into global risk appetite, with tech stocks like Oracle leading the charge. As we head into the European open, I'm keeping a close eye on any potential follow-through in ORCL, while also monitoring the cryptocurrency space - specifically BTC's ability to hold above $73,500 and maintain its correlation with traditional markets.

The overnight session's been a mixed bag, with Oracle's surprise earnings beat driving tech stocks higher while a stronger dollar tames equities. I'm keeping a close eye on the SPY's 200-day moving average at $751 as support, and will be looking to add exposure if we breach this level.
