DCG COMMAND CENTER - OVERNIGHT TRADING PLAN

Market Summary (July 15th, 2025 After-Hours):

The S&P 500 opened strong on China/Nvidia news but faded sharply after CPI, testing critical support at 6285 as sector breadth weakened. Trump’s late-session tariff threats and Iran sanction headlines drove sharp sector rotation, propelling gold and MedTech while hitting energy and biotech.

Key after-hours moves included a $4B Cantor Bitcoin SPAC deal (bullish for crypto), Peter Thiel’s 9% stake in BMNR, and heavy options flow in EW, GFI, and AKAM.
China Tech, gold miners, and MedTech stocks are poised for upside, while energy and biotech face ongoing headwinds. Market focus shifts to Wednesday’s earnings, tariff updates, and ongoing Fed commentary. Watch for potential gap-up open and strong rotation into value, gold, and crypto-backed momentum.
