Why did markets react to comments at the Dan Scavino wedding?

The setting drew cameras, and Trump’s border and crime remarks refocused traders on spending, enforcement, and regulation. That can sway policy risk stocks in defense, security tech, energy, and large‑cap platforms. Reactions often fade if breadth and volume do not confirm, so we wait for follow‑through.

How should Canadians adjust S&P 500 exposure today?

Decide on CAD‑hedged versus unhedged exposure first. Use smaller sizes while ADX stays low and ATR is elevated. Stage entries near reference levels, like the 6,866 mid‑band, with stops sized to volatility. For longer horizons, ladder buys and avoid chasing news‑driven gaps.

What intraday levels matter for the S&P 500 today?

We watch the day range markers around 6,893.48 and 6,964.09. The Bollinger middle band near 6,866 can guide pullback buys, while the upper band near 6,980 flags resistance. A break with volume and strong breadth improves conviction. Otherwise, we expect chop around these zones.

Which indicators show if a move has staying power?

RSI near 50‑60 can support modest upside, but we want rising ADX to confirm trend strength. MACD with a positive histogram helps, yet without higher ADX, breakouts often stall. Volume above average and broad sector participation are the best confirmations to add risk.
