Early read on the tape:
$SPY $SPX $QQQ all caught in a tight range pre-bell. Watching how we handle the open — need to see if buyers step in or if we're setting up for another fade into the 10:30 window.
Gamma sits heavy above current levels, so any push higher likely grinds slow unless we get a catalyst. Downside, first support zone is clean but shallow — break that and we're hunting the next pocket.
No conviction move yet. Waiting for structure to declare itself before committing size. If you're playing options into this, keep theta in mind — range-bound action bleeds premium fast.
