US Equity Market Snapshot
SPX closed down 1.82% at 7,580.07 because futures opened weak which means downside pressure held through the close.
QQQ fell 3.47% to 690.49 which means tech led the decline across the board.
NDX dropped 3.46% to 28,384.85 because both risk assets and havens sold off which means broad de-risking.
SPY finished at 755.72 down 1.77% from the prior 769.36 close which means large-cap participation drove the move lower.
No Asia or Europe index data appears in the slice.
Futures and Overnight Extensions
ES=F traded at 7,614.5 down 1.8% which means the cash close at 7,580.07 sets a lower reference point for the next session.
NQ=F reached 28,543 down 3.45% because growth weakness is passing into the next session which means equity futures lead the overnight move.
YM=F sat at 51,928 down 1.11% which means blue-chip futures align with cash weakness.
RTY=F printed 2,821.90 down 1.58% which means small-cap futures extend the cash decline.
Commodity and Currency Cross-Currents
GC=F fell 3.63% to 3,884.90 because broad de-risking hit both risk assets and havens which means the move signals reduced demand for protection.
SI=F dropped 5.86% to 49.135 which means metals supply accelerated across the complex.
CL=F rose 0.93% to 102.95 which means energy held firmer than metals.
DXY eased 0.10% to 101.933 because sterling rose 0.48% to 1.3392 which means modest dollar softening occurred without clear risk-on follow-through.
Key Levels and Volume Context
SPY support rests at 750.36 while resistance sits at 761.46 from the session range which means the 11-point span defines immediate boundaries.
SPY volume reached 67.7 million shares which means turnover supported the 1.77% decline.
QQQ volume hit 80.1 million shares which means tech supply carried heavier participation.
| Index | Close | Change | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPX | 7,580.07 | -1.82% | Broad weakness from weak futures open |
| NDX | 28,384.85 | -3.46% | Tech leadership in the decline |
| IWM | 279.33 | -1.65% | Small-cap lag behind large caps |
Scenario Pathways
Break below 7,527 support carries 45 weight because sustained closes under that level would extend the de-risking move. Reclaim of 7,637 resistance carries 30 weight because that would require reversal of today’s futures-led pressure. Continued range trade between 7,527 and 7,637 carries 25 weight because volume would need to compress without new downside prints.
Risk and Experience Watchpoints
Risk stands at 4% because the 3.63% gold drop alongside equity losses shows correlated asset-class pressure.
| Level | What to Watch on Tape |
|---|---|
| Beginner | Track how futures gaps affect cash closes |
| Intermediate | Observe volume spikes at session extremes |
| Advanced | Monitor cross-asset correlations during selloffs |
Broad US equity selloff led by tech means the grid shows risk aversion across asset classes.
