$SPY Puts Ripped 100%–300% Today

Before the opening bell, sentiment was overwhelmingly bearish: 🌍 Escalating Middle East tensions πŸ›’οΈ Rising crude oil prices and input costs πŸ“ˆ Inflation concerns and elevated yields πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Midterm election uncertainty πŸ’Ό A slowing labor market πŸ€– AI trade unwinding and ballooning CapEx The bearish narrative was everywhere.

$SPY October Pullback: 10 Big Stocks Down as November Rally Looms?

October pullbacks have historically created opportunities ahead of November strength in the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ .

πŸ“Š $SPY at a Critical Crossroads: Can It Reclaim $770?

Since forming in April 2026, $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ has bounced off the same trendline four times. On Friday, it held again near $760. Now trading around $767.50, SPY faces two key resistance levels: πŸ”Ή $768.50 β€” 50-day SMA πŸ”Ή $771.18 β€” 20-day SMA The first hurdle is a daily close above $768.50, with a move above $770 offering a stronger signal that buyers are regaining control. If SPY can reclaim these levels, a push toward its all-time highs could be back on the table this week. If it fails, the recent bounce may struggle to gain traction. πŸ‘€ Earnings could be the next catalyst. $TSLA and $META kick off a key stretch of tech earnings, potentially influencing broader market sentiment.

Trading $SPX Credit Spreads? Answer These 5 Questions First

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ is my daily bread and butter. I trade both naked calls and puts, as well as credit spreads. This morning, I sold out-of-the-money puts and calls and collected 100% of the premium. But collecting premium is the easy part. Knowing what you're risking is what separates a plan from a gamble. Before selling a credit spread, ask yourself these five questions: 1️⃣ What's my thesis? Am I bullish, bearish, or expecting a range-bound market? What evidence supports that view? 2️⃣ Where am I wrong? Identify the price action that would invalidate the trade. If the market moves against your thesis, know when to reassess. 3️⃣ What's my maximum loss? For a standard credit spread, maximum loss is generally the spread width minus the credit rece

$SPY Closed Green Despite Hot PPI. Here’s Why πŸ“ˆ

September PPI surged 1.3% MoM versus 0.5% expected, while core PPI rose 0.7% against a 0.3% forecast. Yet $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ finished Thursday up 0.28%. The key was what happened to Treasury yields after the data. Three things explain the disconnect: 1️⃣ Yields moved in the opposite direction. The 10-year Treasury yield fell roughly 11 basis points, easing pressure on equity valuations. Hot inflation can be bearish for stocks, but if yields fall instead of rise, the immediate reaction can be different. 2️⃣ The market may be pricing in slower growth, not just higher inflation. Retail sales were stronger overall, but the control group missed expectations. Investors may be weighing the risk that tighter financial conditions weaken growt

$SPY Big Week Ahead πŸ“ˆ CPI + PPI Could Trigger a Gamma Squeeze Toward $785

BIG WEEK for $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ ! πŸ”₯ Two major inflation catalysts are coming: Wednesday: CPI Thursday: PPI I’m looking for softer inflation readings, which could strengthen expectations for a Fed rate cut on October 28. If both CPI and PPI come in cooler than expected, markets could reprice rate-cut expectations quickly and fuel a massive gamma squeeze. 🎯 Upside target: $SPY $785 The setup is there, but the inflation data needs to cooperate. Hotter-than-expected numbers could flip the script just as quickly. Watch the data. Watch the reaction. If inflation comes in soft and momentum builds, $785 could come into play. πŸš€ Markets are always moving - and sometimes, the best move is knowing what works for you. With Treasury yields, oil pr

$SPX $SPY | How $1,000 Could Scale to $100K a Month

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ How $1,000 Could Scale to $100K a Month πŸ“ˆ The idea is simple: start with one credit spread, then gradually increase the number of spreads as your capital grows.

$AMD $MU $NVDA $AVGO The Earnings Growth Behind My Long-Term Positions

$99,171 on the day. $2.8M in open profit. The biggest change in my trading wasn’t a new indicator or a better entry. It was learning to think in quarters instead of watching every candle.
