When I began writing in mid-morning, the modest selling that had occurred up to that point seemed to be more about moves into less risky, more defensive sectors, than about a major change in market sentiment.&nbsp; Thus, the original title was \u201cToday is Rotation\u201d.&nbsp; But a few minutes after the piece was posted, I had misgivings and added the phrase <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/stocks\/today-is-rotation\/\">\u201c, So Far\u201d<\/a> to the title.&nbsp; I\u2019m glad I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once again, things have begun to change since I started writing.&nbsp; The S&amp;P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq 100 (NDX) have recouped about half their losses in that time, with dip buyers stepping around 11AM EDT.&nbsp; But as we saw yesterday at this time, only three SPX sectors are down on the day right now, and two of them are Communications and Technology (the other is Consumer Discretionary, mainly thanks to Target\u2019s (TGT) post-earnings reaction).&nbsp; We\u2019ve changed back to a market condition that is more about rotation than the outright risk aversion that prevailed earlier today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The precipitating factor behind this morning\u2019s selloff was the President\u2019s call for Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook\u2019s resignation.&nbsp; Last night, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-08-20\/trump-ally-calls-on-bondi-to-probe-fed-s-cook-over-mortgages?sref=UQoV8r0O\">Bloomberg reported<\/a> that Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to open investigation into Cook over two mortgage applications.&nbsp; Markets were not perturbed that there are inquiries into the propriety of her personal mortgage applications.&nbsp; She is entitled to due process, like any other person, which includes the presumption of innocence.&nbsp; If she\u2019s guilty, then she should indeed resign or be fired.&nbsp; But when the President weighed in even before the process began, it raised the specter of politicization and interference in the Fed\u2019s independence.&nbsp; That put markets on the wrong foot early, and negative momentum ruled again \u2013 at least for a couple of hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For proof of this assertion, note the chart of overnight and pre-market ES and NQ futures.&nbsp; The President\u2019s resignation call hit Truth Social at 8:32 EDT.&nbsp; There is a clear \u201cbefore\u201d and \u201cafter\u201d response to the post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>1-Day, Since 5PM CDT: ES (green\/red candles) and NQ (blue line) September Futures, with vertical line at 7:32 CDT (8:32 EDT)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"620\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image-27-1100x620.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-229346 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image-27-1100x620.png 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image-27-700x395.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image-27-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image-27-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image-27-1536x866.png 1536w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image-27.png 1585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px;

A self-fulfilling indicator can prove itself correct regardless of rationale.&nbsp; Considering how well this indicator has defined buy and sell points for NDX recently, it is quite understandable why traders would continually utilize it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, it is clear that traders are still relatively sanguine about the potential for near-term volatility.&nbsp; The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) has been creeping off its lows but is still hardly anticipating much movement in VIX\u2019s 30 calendar day range.&nbsp; Nor is there much priced into the VIX9D, which utilizes options with an average 9 calendar days to expiration.&nbsp;&nbsp; If investors were truly risk averse ahead of Powell\u2019s speech and Nvidia\u2019s (NVDA) earnings, they aren\u2019t really showing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>1-Month VIX (red\/green hourly candles), VIX9D (blue discontinuous line)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"649\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image-28-1100x649.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-229348 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image-28-1100x649.png 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image-28-700x413.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image-28-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image-28-768x453.png 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image-28-1536x906.png 1536w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image-28.png 1569w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px;
