📰 Daily Market Overview – June 23, 2025
📊Market Sentiment & Price Action
After seven consecutive weeks of dull, grinding market action, the broader indices remain technically in uptrends, but underlying momentum is clearly fading. While June is still up about 1% on the S&P 500, the market tone has shifted.
MACD and Zero Lag Moving Average (ZLMA) have both turned negative, flashing confirmed sell signals. Price action is weak and slightly below mean regression, though still hovering above VWAP across major ETFs like SPY, QQQ, and IWM.
- Fear & Greed Index: 55 (Neutral-Greedy)
- CPCI: 1.2 (Moderate hedging)
- VIX: 20s (Caution)
- SKEW: 149 (Elevated tail risk)
