Hey, traders! Dan Passarelli here, shooting on location. This week was rough, but that’s OK – it’s part of the journey in options trading. The key is being able to navigate through both up and down weeks.
Next week, we’re looking at critical CPI, PPI, and unemployment data, which will play a big role in the Fed’s upcoming rate decision. Volatility is the name of the game, and there could be big moves both ways. Check out my thoughts on what to expect, and how to stay sharp in these conditions.

Stay tuned for more ways to measure liquidity in future videos! #OptionsTrading #TradeSmart #LiquidityMatters #FinancialTips”
Why this is an important week (and what to trade)
Hey, it’s Dan Passarelli! It’s a short but impactful week with big market movements on the way. The Fed is likely to cut rates next week—63% chance for 25 basis points and 37% for 50 bps. We’ve also got a slew of employment data to watch, including JOLTS job openings, the Beige Book, and the monthly unemployment figures. Inflation seems to be easing, so now the focus is on employment. I recently sold out of my straddles but may re-enter if the market presents another opportunity. Stay tuned for more insights and trade smart! #MarketUpdate #FedWatch #TradeSmart #EconomicData
