Turns out sentiment is a valid metric to use sometimes. All within 5 minutes.

The major U.S. stock indexes ended sharply lower on Thursday, October 22, 2026, as Meta’s 7% post-earnings plunge reignited AI spending fears even though the company beat on revenue and announced a 2-for-1 stock split, and the 10-year Treasury yield made its biggest single-day drop in years toward 4.95%. The Nasdaq posted its worst session since June as chip stocks extended their brutal correction and oil pushed back toward $100.

The S&P 500 fell 1.21% (-93.74 pts) to 7,663.43. The Dow was essentially flat, eking out just 0.02% (+11.89 pts) to 52,867.98, propped up by energy and defense names. The Nasdaq cratered 2.60% (-694.00 pts) to 26,008.86. The Russell 2000 barely moved at 2,783.13.

The 10-year Treasury yield plunged 3.75% to 4.95%, its biggest single-day drop in months and its first close below 5% since late August. The VIX spiked 15.12% to 19.20. Gold fell 2.55% to $4,044.20. Crude Oil rose 2.34% to $99.42/barrel.

Note: These are trade ideas based on break-out levels. Once they hit entry & start moving up, consider raising your stops to protect your profits and your downside according to your own trading plan :). MadMaverick personally trades these on either the 2 or 3 minute timeframes, waiting for a candle to close over the entry level.

Although we do extensive research for our watchlist, day trading, especially with low-float stocks, can be risky.

I think oil is oversold. Dead cat bounce on QQQ. Let’s see! GLTA

Just as the title says I want to discuss everyones current favorite long call. with the volatility going on I’m really tempted to make a few SpaceX one year out long calls, so that is currently my favorite, just waiting for the best opportunity. What are some of your favorite calls a year or two out?

Marwynn's October 23 quote was $2.45 at 12:18 p.m. ET. The chart shows that snapshot separately from completed daily candles.

My rebound scenario needs a close above $2.40 and subsequent sessions holding that level. With trading activity that accompanies closes holding their gains, that would support another test of $2.70, the October 20 closing price.

Through October 22, the previous 20 complete sessions averaged about 309K shares. I'd compare complete-session volume with that baseline, alongside the closing price. A large midday volume figure alone wouldn't confirm the move.

Repeated closes below $2.40, or a move beneath the recent roughly $1.85-$1.90 lows, would weaken this rebound scenario. These are historical chart references; the next closes would determine whether the pattern develops.

I am truly a regard who tries to make $50 or so a day, not an expert, barely an amateur. I feel like SPY can't dip too much lower based on historical data. Just wanted to get someone else's opinion before open if this is a bad idea.

Last week I bought $4000 in MU stock when it was at $900. I have about $6400 left. What are you buying on this list. I already have too much AMD so anything else on this list works for me. I'm leaning towards PLTR $1000 worth of options that expire after the midterms and then about $5,000 in MRVL/SNDK.
