What’s Happening?
Stocks continue to wobble, while crypto is trying to find its footing as bonds tumble and yields push higher. The 30-year Treasury yield hit 5.2%, its highest level since 2007, while the 10-year yield climbed to 4.7%, a one-year high and within striking distance of 5%.
Why does this matter? Bonds may not be the most exciting topic, but higher yields mean higher borrowing costs. That’s a headwind for consumers, businesses, and investors — and has triggered a bit of “risk-off” reaction across markets as of late.
👀 S&P 500 Spotlight
On the bright side, earnings continue to show progress. Earlier this week, Home Depot pointed to a solid consumer, even as some shoppers delay larger home projects due in part to elevated interest rates and borrowing costs. This morning, TJX Companies and Target also beat earnings and revenue expectations, reinforcing the view that consumers remain resilient.
Next up: Walmart tomorrow morning.
⚡ Crypto Corner
Crypto is gaining some momentum this morning, led by Bitcoin stabilizing near its 50-day moving average. Recent leaders like Ondo and Near Protocol are up more than 4%, though the rally remains selective, with names like Bitcoin Cash still under pressure.

The Setup — Nvidia
Nvidia will report earnings tonight, and while the investment community largely expects a strong result, it will be the reaction to those results (and the outlook) that matter most.
For months, Nvidia was stuck between $170 and $200, with rallies toward the latter ending just as quickly as they started. However, the rally that started in early April has led NVDA to new highs around $240. Should shares pull back after earnings, bulls will want to see the stock stay above former resistance — or above $200. If Nvidia rallies, investors will look to see if the stock can sustain above $240.
Options
Investors who are bullish could consider calls or call spreads as one way to speculate on further upside, while bearish investors could consider puts or put spreads to speculate on a further move to the downside. For options traders, it may be advantageous to have adequate time until the option’s expiration.
