$SPY closed at $764.97, down 0.02%. Nothing changed structurally — every level held.
Gamma exposure (GEX) ticked to -$807M from -$680M. The afternoon put wave ran at 5.3:1. Composite faded from +2.4 to -6.6. Same pattern, same magnitude. Mild.
The flip sits at $765.69. Price is seventy-two cents below it. The cup-and-handle stop at $762.04 held for the fifth session — $2.93 away.
Premium flow: 67.3% call. Two dollars into calls for every dollar into puts heading into the $NVDA print. The money didn't waver.
Skew: +0.16%. Flat. Neutral. Institutions aren't paying a premium for either direction. They own both sides. The straddle is set.
Magnets above: $766 (+$67M), $767 (+$47M), $768 (+$40M). Small but positive. Right overhead. The cliff below: $760 (-$286M). 0.6% away.
IV compressed through the session. Call IV from 13.80% to 13.48%. The vanna coil at -111K is set.
The structure entering tomorrow's print:
- Composite: -6.6 (neutral)
- GEX: -$807M (negative, amplifying)
- Flip: seventy-two cents above price
- Premium: 67% call
- Vanna: -111K coiled
- Cup and handle: alive, $2.93 from stop, $14.40 from breakout
Everything converges tomorrow after the close. The falling wedge. The cup and handle. The capital ceiling research. The $QQQ momentum signal. Sixty-one days of daily reads. Forty-two posts in this series. One number.
$766 is the flip. $764.97 is price. $760 is the cliff. $779 is the breakout. $789 is the target.
Tomorrow.
