The desk is coming into today with a clear directional lean and a couple of high-conviction setups already in motion.

The desk is coming into today with a clear directional lean and a couple of high-conviction setups already in motion.

On the technology side, we are long one of the large-caps and holding that with solid conviction. The setup has been building cleanly and we are not fighting it. That one is the anchor of the book right now.

Healthcare is where it gets interesting — and this is where the desk is doing work on both sides of the ledger. We have a long in one name that is showing solid conviction, and it is performing. Working in our favor as of now. On the flip side, we are short a separate healthcare name with equal conviction. Two different setups, two different stories, same sector. That kind of internal divergence is worth paying attention to as a theme — not just as individual trades.

Intraday, we are pressing morning strength. The gap-fill book is active on the open, so the early session is where the focus sits. We want to see how gaps resolve before we add any additional reads.

Clean posture today. Nothing forced.

That is the desk read. Position accordingly, or do not. Your call.
