Stocks are down pretty big after news broke late last night that Israel had launched airstrikes on Iran, with all mega-cap stocks down more than 1% — which is always a major catalyst because they weigh on the rest of the market.
It’s important to note that acts of God and war and the biggest catalysts to financial markets.
Israel reportedly targeted Tehran’s key nuclear facilities as Washington pushes Iran to make a deal “before there is nothing left,” U.S. President Donald Trump posted last night on social media.
Middle East tensions are the major catalyst today, and many related areas are in play — including oil prices, military and defense stocks, airline and travel stocks, gold, bonds, the U.S. dollar, Adobe (ADBE) earnings, defensive stocks and consumer sentiment.
I’ve been talking about the dollar being in the dumps lately…
It’s up pretty big today in a flight to quality, but I wouldn’t consider this a technical move. This is simply because of what’s going on in the Middle East.
We have a lot to cover today, so let’s dive in!
I’ll cover all that, my daily hitlist of longs and shorts and more in this morning’s “Premarket Must Watch” video!

P.S. These 0DTE Setups Cost Less… and Can Pay More
Something fundamental has changed in the options market since May 9, 2023. That’s when the CBOE approved a new type of daily option — 0DTE — that’s reshaping how the smartest traders approach the market.
These 0DTE options now make up more than half of the S&P 500’s daily options volume.
There’s a reason…
While regular options on stocks like Nvidia or Apple might cost $2,000+ per contract, 0DTE options on SPY can cost as little as a hundred bucks. And when I figured this out, everything clicked.
Earlier this month, one SPY 0DTE setup returned 57% in 53 minutes. The same move with traditional options?
Just 5%….
Most traders are missing these opportunities because old indicators like RSI and MACD lag behind price action. That’s why I built a tool that detects internal momentum before breakouts, identifies SPY’s expected range and helps spot potential 50%+ setups multiple times per day.
We’ve seen incredible results in beta. If you want the full breakdown…
The profits and performance shown are not typical. We make no future earnings claims and you may lose money. The trades shown are from live signals issued by the Alpha Zone Pro alerts platform. Since Alpha Zone Pro is a tool for traders and not a trading service, profits and performance will vary among users.
