Markets showed contrasting reactions to major earnings reports, with Tesla recovering from an initial post-earnings drop to trade at $434, up from lows of $413. The projected 30-point move materialized as just 4 points, creating a significant volatility crush across option chains. Meanwhile, Netflix continued sliding following its earnings report, dropping from $1250 to below $1150 despite mentions of successful content like "K-pop Demon Hunters." Management cited Brazilian tax issues affecting results. The broader market showed strength with oil surging 6% to $62, while gold and silver gained over 2%. Volatility metrics remain key, with contango suggesting potential upside despite occasional selloffs. Trade ideas included SPX iron condors exploiting elevated one-day implied volatility, short calls in Quad9 (QD) at the 40 strike for premium collection, and British pound futures exposure through micro contracts.
