  • $SPY overnight opened at $629.51, then flash-crashed up to $641.43 โ€” a sharp reversal pattern. 8

  • $SPX has logged 9 consecutive red Thursdays. Historically, the index has never dropped 10 Thursdays in a row โ€” Thursday before Good Friday and a 3-day weekend is unlikely to break that streak. 7

  • Resistance at $643.33 on $SPY; above that, last week’s $652 breakdown could be retested. Rejection at $643.33 sets up a pullback. 17

๐ŸŒ Geopolitical Trading Edge
