SPX Game Plan Update 3:03
$SPX $SPY $ES SPX opened at 7813, topped at 7822 early, and has bled lower all afternoon to 7799, just off the 7797 low of the day. Gamma has flipped negative overall, so moves can stretch more than they did this morning. The big 7800 strike is now the call wall and the magnet, with the put wall right below at 7790. The live expected move into the close is tight at 7794 to 7805. We've used 25 of the 54-point average range (45%), so there's room for a late push either way. The failed-bounce short is off because the morning high already cleared its limit. For a short into the close, a 5-minute close under 7794 breaks the day's low and the EM low and targets 7790 (put wall), then 7785, and you're out on a 5-minute close back above 7800. For a long, a 5-minute close above 7806 clears the EM high and targets 7810, then 7820, and it's wrong back under 7800. It's 0DTE with under an hour left, so take profits at the targets and don't hold into the bell. If neither trigger fires, expect a pin around 7800.
