**Tesla’s Challenges and Future Prospects**
**Alphabet’s Earnings and Market Response**
As we approach a busy week of earnings for big tech companies, we anticipate increased volatility for stocks like Meta, Apple, and Amazon. Although the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) has dropped below 16 after reaching over 21 in mid-April, earnings reports could lead to significant price changes. This makes strategies such as long straddles or strangles appealing for those expecting big moves in either direction.
The difference in performance between the tech-focused Nasdaq and the slower Dow futures also hints at a possible pairs trade strategy. We might consider buying Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ) while shorting Dow futures (YM). This approach allows traders to benefit from the tech sector’s continued strong performance compared to the broader industrial market.
