Stocks fell sharply, with the leading the decline, finishing the day down almost 1.6% at 5,860. Meanwhile, the dropped nearly 2.75%, closing at 20,550. This decline was primarily driven by Nvidia (NASDAQ:), which fell 8.5% to end the day at 120. Anyone following this commentary for some time knows that Nvidia was positioned in a way that made a pullback likely following its earnings results, primarily due to the way the options market was structured around it. The market had been highly bullish, with significant call delta exposure, but after the results, those deltas burned off, and implied volatility dropped sharply, leading to yesterday’s selloff. Nvidia also broke key technical levels yesterday. The next major support level appears to be around 118, and if that breaks, it could set up a move down to 109.

The index pulled back to around 5,860, though there may still be some room for further downside. More importantly, 5,900 had been serving as a major support level and a “put wall” from a gamma perspective. Now, it appears that the put wall has shifted down to around 5,800, suggesting that if the market wants to decline further, there is room for it to do so. Previously, the market had been range-bound between 5,900 and 6,100, but after yesterday’s close, it seems that range may now extend down to 5,800.

A break of support at 20,550 probably means we see a drop to around 20,000 to start.

While valuations could justify a lower market, they are not a good timing tool. Instead, credit spreads need to show material widening to confirm a sustained decline. We are seeing early signs of this, with the CDX high-yield credit spread index closing above a trendline yesterday. Whether this is a genuine breakout will depend on today’s follow-through.
